Message: [QUOTE="Cusefan95, post: 359494, member: 173"] I hear what you're saying, but Syracuse couldn't sell out in 1998 with a stacked schedule, a top 25 team, and a much stronger local economy. Attendance will get better if the team is winning, but realistically it's not going to be great. Ever. It's just not. I totally get moving games, but it just adds one more obstacle to local attendance. Plus I I have a really hard time seeing recruits get juiced to come play in front of 35K at the Dome (or at the Meadowlands half empty or full of opponent's fans) - it doesn't matter if they're playing Florida State, it's just not an appealing environment to play in. At some point SU is going to get left behind, moving to the ACC delays the day of reckoning a decade or two. There's just way too many obstacles to success to overcome - we've got some people blaming fans for not showing up, some blaming Gross - maybe its time to concede SU football is a lost cause. [/QUOTE]
