Your post is spot on, however, Dino's message is unfortunately preaching to the choir and not the fan that maybe on the fence. 95% of the people watching his weekly PC's are diehards who already have tickets or support the program from afar.  The people who used the excuse as you noted of "they suck I'am not wasting my time" are just going to come up with a new excuse. Tickets are to much, there's no parking, game time doesn't work for me, I have other plans, or I can just watch it on TV.

Its going to be a struggle for SU to get over 40K without giving away or pretty much giving away a chunk of tickets. The demand is simply isn't there outside of the diehards and a small % of fans that have remained on the fence. As others have pointed out there's a sizeable chunk of people who casually follow the program who aren't coming to the Dome regardless of what happens this year even if SU had won last week. I know attendance is high on Babers list and I respect that but if he thinks that is getting fixed in one year he's going to be massively disappointed. I have noticed an uptick in people asking about the program and showing more interest then they have in quite some time but I don't think non locals realize how far a bridge there is to cross to get that to translate to actual buts in seats.
