Location is really not that big a deal to a lot of these guys. If the kids like the coaches and school they will come. That's the funny thing about college football, most of the top teams are in smaller cities, Clemson, South Bend, Ann Arbor, College Station, State College, Tuscaloosa, Tallahassee. Probably part of the reason they have such huge followings, it's the only game in town.
That's great. I've seen a lot of post about these moves better positioning SU in the next round of this expansion garbage. How many programs involved have a 42k capacity stadiums? How many are REDUCING capacity? Neither exactly screams big time football program. You can bet that if/when that happens other programs opposed to SU's inclusion will use it against them BIG TIME.
Okay, we currently average under 40k attendance, so I'm sure they'd use that against us too.
Even a consistent 9-10 win team in Syracuse is not selling out a 49k capacity for every game. It's just not a realistic expectation.
Especially 45K invested in the game. Half of the time people aren’t paying attention or playing on their phones. When i’m at the game or watching the game it’s all business…unless i’m posting in a game thread
So either the BiG (most likely) is going to be cool with 42k or SU was always screwed to begin with.
That silver hurts my eyes. Can’t wait until the seats are put in. The renderings look amazing.
See northwestern
Keep banging the drum. Can’t we just enjoy the big recruiting weekend?
Yes
See Maryland
Northwestern, Maryland, Indiana, Minnesota, Rutgers all hold just around 50k. It’s not a huge difference. I don’t think 8k less seats would affect anything if there were 42k people actually showing up. If attendance hasn’t been so bad i would understand but how many times have we needed more than 42k in the last decade?
Keep banging the drum? What are you talking about? I mentioned it once and then responded to others responses.
Well, I guess I'm just hoping to be a little bit better than the last decade.
