attendence issues

[upperdeck]

people think Dino is leaving because we dont show up. if you get above 80% you are doing good at most schools and many of these dont report actual people in the seats.

Duke still had a chance to win their side sitting at 5-1 had 20K.. 50%

FSU 85%

SU 35K 77%

rutgers 32K 62%

indiana 41K 78%

UCLA 60%

TT 88%

TCU 90% vs OK.

kentucky.. rolling this year 54k 80%

Mizzi 74%

Ole miss 87%

I find it shocking 32k people are buying Rutgers tickets...

Well there's also people who want Dino on the hot seat soo...

Our fans are ridiculous.

Syracuse is showing remarkable improvement in attendance imo. It may not show to most as we’ve yet to see 40,000. However, we’re out attending last year by an average of over 3,000. I’d be interested to see how many schools are replicating our improvements this year.

Wins = butts in the seats

I didn't post in that game thread Saturday, but I followed along on my phone while watching the game. I'll just say...it was quite interesting.

Understanding that commentary during game action gets heated some of the commentary in that thread is really entertaining.

People who generally think they are intelligent about Syracuse Sports.

The attendance “issue” has been overstated due to the growing worry/pandamonium regarding retaining Dino.

Simply put, our board’s forgotten what sustained progress looks like and is having Marrone anxiety.

I mean half the fan base thinks Dino is leaving and the other half thinks we aren't winning any more games. Both sides are getting quite annoying.

Assuming the flights don't jump up by Friday when I get paid I plan to attend BC Miami AND our game vs NC State this weekend.

I am pretty sure the Dome will be filled percentage wise the same as Alumni Stadium. Like us they only see Miami once every 12 years at home. If we were playing the U and not Nc State the Dome would be full with 50k.

All those schools with stadiums larger than NFL ones might start removing seats sooner than you think ala Nascar empty seats looks bad but what the Redskins have looks far worse with much of the uppers permanantly tarped off. ANd any school with an insanely big stadium larger than an NFL one has extremely high donations for the decent seats not up in a spaceship.

If we can have a 10 win season and not lose the coach the Dome is going to be damn close to full the next for every game other than Wagner at noon in early September. The lower bowl is full every week. We are fine its just that we will have a top 5 national home advantage if we get the DOme over 90% full so its a shame when its not for a big game.

The fact that we fill a friggen football stadium for basketball at extremely high prices relative to most of college basketball is proof enough about how a winner will do.

It’s annoying but people are just emotionally exhausted from the past 20 years. It’s hard to be rational when things look like they’re progressing as planned while you’re used to being kicked in the balls so much

Well for one we should enjoy the season. We have 5 wins and could easily have 7. Every game has been entertaining.

You’d think this board would resemble mardi gras since we reached our 5 win expectation and are knocking on bowl eligibility by game 7

I must be in the third half.

In most instances, there is a year delay or drag on an attendance surge. In other words, strong close to 2018 will results in more tickets being sold in 2019.

In 2012, we closed really strong, but Nassib was done, as was Marrone. Stalled momentum for 2013.

I bet 8 wins this year, plus the DeVito phenomena could pay some nice dividends next year, especially if SU can start strong in September (@Liberty, @Maryland to begin).

Me too.

 

[Trueblue25]

Me too.

Wow glad to see their numbers are up since last game

 

[sufandu]

Me too.

They saw "homecoming" and thought it said "go home." Can you blame them?

They’re probable giving tickets away.

The pictures from Doak Campbell were entertaining.

We were watching the end of Penn State - Indiana. One side of the field looked like 17 people taking up 25,000 seats.
