Message: [QUOTE="Cusefan95, post: 5293974, member: 173"] Before I had kids, I would take my nieces and nephews to games (back in the late 90s/early 00s). It was always a huge deal, and they would be asking me in October what games I would be taking them to. My kids - both under 10 - have never seen a legitimately good Syracuse team. I take them to one game a year, and it’s almost like they endure the game for the other stuff they love, like Dinosaur. I have no doubt that it’s easy to get older fans excited about a game - my nieces and nephews would still go just for the nostalgia. But I think the quality of play over the last decade has severely eroded interest of pre-teens (and possibly teens). In other words - there’s not a huge reason for concern about fans who can drive to the game (yet); the bigger issue is with the ones who can’t because they’re too young to get a license. When they are old enough to get a license, we’re likely to discover they don’t exist as “fans”. [/QUOTE]
