Message: [QUOTE="wfschrec, post: 753855, member: 361"] No I'm not ... not at all ... I had an intern that worked for me last summer ... he is doing grad work at GT ... grew up in Buffalo ... is an SU hoops fan ... so are a bunch of his friends ... asked him about football ... his response ... "The people I know that like SU love the hoops because they win ... been to a lot of basketball games with my dad, we didn't do the football games because they lose." ... His quote not mine ... exemplifies even our locals ... Live with your head in the sand ... the reality is we should do better attendance wise ... some of that is on SU ... some of that is on the fact that we have a fair weather fan base ... not a difficult thing to grasp. For the cost of a standard season ticket there its pretty affordable compared to some and is the only real attraction in town ... but hey its not an issue ... like I said remove the posts about empty bleachers they obviously don't exist ... they sure as hell didn't exists in the 90s ... but I'm sure so many new obstacles have been put in place to prevent people from physically making it to the games right? Uh no ... we just stopped winning ... the sooner we all nod our heads up and down and figure that out the sooner we can work that issue ... The fact is that if during those two decades had attendance issues been present I could easily cling to any of these excuses ... or facts as you call them and say yep those are deterrents from keeping people from going to the games but they aren't. You make it sound like the Dome was never filled at all ... like we never had solid attendance numbers vs capacity ... the sole difference between then and now that matters is our win/loss record ... to some degree opponents help but records are what dictates it.
