Message: [QUOTE="Millhouse, post: 936344, member: 78"] i think there is already some cannibalization going on just between football and basketball already. how many games can one person go to in year? it's why smaller pro cities have fewer teams than bigger ones, even though the seasons don't overlap (baseball, hockey, football - some overlap but not much) even though the sports are in different seasons, smaller cities can't support as many teams as bigger ones. i think SU basketball's success and capacity take away some of football's attendance. the number of events that would be needed to justify a stadium of this size will likely cannibalize the existing local consumption of what is already offered in the dome. that will in turn require that much more tourism to justify the price tag. a 500 million dollar stadium is going to depend way too much on convention tourism [/QUOTE]
