The new stadium proponents don't have an answer for your question, as far as I can tell. Community interests are important; they support the programs. But one thing lost in this discussion is that the community historically bought tickets in large numbers for FB, and still does for BB. There's no reason they won't return (for FB) when we re-do the Dome and put a good product on the field.

Abandoning the Dome and Choosing a new destination because of a highway (I-81's next to campus) or a parking lot (South campus capacity could be increased) seems like the tail wagging the dog. The Dome's allure, and it's value to SU, is as an on-campus facility. Accessibility is not a trivial issue, but at the end of the day, they came before and they'll come again. We just have to make the Dome a destination worth visiting. And I think we can do that for half the price of an off campus field house owned by some regional authority ... without having to deal with all the public financing and access issues that go along with it.
