Message: [QUOTE="Scooch, post: 949106, member: 628"] The Syracuse MSA (the three counties immediately surrounding the city) has a population of 660K, which is up slightly (10K) from 10 years ago. The Syracuse CSA which is a slightly larger defined area (I think it includes one more contiguous county) is 730K, and that's basically flat to the last census. Neither of those areas include any population associated with Binghamton, Utica, or Rochester. So I think it's safe to say that there are about 1 million people within an hour's drive of the Dome? That hasn't changed much in 20 years (which isn't good obviously, it should be growing) but I don't think that's the problem in getting another 5K to the Dome on Saturdays, I really don't. *edit* Here's a link: [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_census_statistical_areas[/url] Utica/Rome would add another 300K, and Binghamton another 250K. That takes you to 1.2 million without any Rochester area population whatsoever. [/QUOTE]
