Message: [QUOTE="IthacaMatt, post: 865891, member: 405"] Great point. During Marrone's tenure, I would guess that a majority of our wins came on the road. We had some terrible, terrible games at home after hope had been raised a bit for the local fans. I'm too lazy to look it up right now, but wow, we got pasted at home too many times, as we were trying to rebuild the program. That surely impacts attendance. Moving marquee games away - although good business decisions - has hurt fan engagement, too. It's those big games that sell the whole season ticket package, although now that we're in the ACC, the overall quality of teams coming to visit is much more appealing than it used to be in the final version of the Big East. From a fan engagement point of view, he left a couple years too soon. But then again, with his distaste for recruiting, he might have been reaching his high point as a coach right when he left.
