Crowd size……

[OrangeXtreme]

I was there. Maybe 8.
No lines for anything.
Walked right in about 645.
Bathroom empty, 4 people at concessions
Felt like a preseason game.

My pet peeve - thousands of green shirts went unused.
Only available in 100 and 200 sections.
Why couldn’t they have given them at halftime/second half to those of us in upper deck.
They actually looked really nice.

With 5:00 left in the game, why didn't you walk down to the 100/200 level and grab a couple?

I'm eagerly awaiting the "Most schools would KILL for 8,000!" rationalization.

This is the price we are paying for ranked football and preseason lacrosse.

Nice try, but if you were being serious, no

I mean just the pic of last night's attendance is about as sad as it gets. How could we run Red back another year with these kind of results and continued attendance. It's such a bad look.

As long as those "tickets" were paid for, the university doesn't care if they are actually used.

approx 12K of the 19,750 fans didn't show up-
That's a lot of concession and parking $.
And not sustainable.

I would have felt like I was stealing.
Sounds silly I know.

You’re a good person. Ushers were handing them out to people though.

Unfortunately that view is espoused by more than you think.

I shudder to think what season ticket sales and attendance is going to look like next year, as I'm assuming the university is still going to give Red a 3rd year because.. well.. it's SU. Kiyan and Sadiq aren't saving this thing.

 

[PhatOrange]

There they are...

this is sad and funny at the same time. It’s shocking to see that’s it’s come to this. But when JW is giving Red another year it’s impossible for him to ignore the home revenues losses. You can spin the attendance figures w/tickets sold but the cash register doesn’t lie.

Eric15 get the number from your buddy tonight.

Just texted him and asked. I'll let you know what he says.

I wonder how much money not just SU is losing, but the Syracuse economy generally because of the basketball team.
