Your blasts to teachers have worked. My wife got the mail, it's made its rounds in our small town, and now teachers and parents are pushing the AD to get schedules out so they can decide if they can make any games.

Another market, [USER=4689]DRBartle[/USER] , is to coordinate with admissions to bring in busloads of students from area community colleges- Broome, TC3, Cayuga, Mohawk Valley, Jefferson, Fulton-Montgomery, Corning, as well as from your downstate recruiting grounds- Nassau, Suffolk, Westchester, etc, for campus tours and all the admissions, then a game to get a sense for campus life. SU has (sort of) stepped up their Community College recruiting in the past year of so, and I see an awful lot of SU attire at the college I work at. The perception of these kids is it's too costly and that games are boring because the blue hairs tell them to sit down. Bring in a busload or two per game, give 'em a cheap orange shirt, and seat them near the students. They might not apply to or attend SU in the long run, but they'll remember a great time at the Dome and either come back or remain fans. Don't forget to include the stumpy's over at ESF.

Penn State brings in multiple busloads from all over the state- both their affiliated campuses and the state community colleges- every Saturday. It fills a few hundred seats each time.
