I have been to a game this year, the lower sections of the endzone opposite the band is bare, nearly every game. I know they're in the lower level, but it isn't the most desirable seat for the view of the game. Maybe they aren't priced well for what they offer.

I don't think "a lot" are local.

"Students at Syracuse University represent 50 states and more than 115 foreign countries. Of the total student population, 10 percent are from foreign countries. Of the fall 2007 undergraduate full-time class, approximately 41 percent are from New York State (16 percent of enrolled full-time undergraduates are from the New York City area), 55 percent are from other states, and 4 percent are from foreign countries. "

Wish it broke down the demographics more.  So 25% of all students are from NY but not the city.  Can't imagine that all of them are from Syracuse, probably between 15-18%, which would mean around 2-3k students are local.  So, if only 18 percent of kids are local, I wouldn't imagine that many of these grads are staying in Syracuse to work, atleast not at this time.  There is probably an older generation that settled where they graduated, but unless you're in a city with jobs, you're probably not going to stick around.  Syracuse is that kind of city at the moment.
