Yeah, any building up there would dominate the skyline. Imagine a stadium (even if it were cost-effective to dig it out and have only the upper deck above grade).
Next block from Doug Marrone's old house: [URL]https://www.google.com/maps/@43.0176235,-76.0967519,3a,75y,283.77h,62.54t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sODdAdvb09iuGOZw3wd4azg!2e0!7i13312!8i6656[/URL] (tree line dead ahead, above tennis center roof)

Over the gray house, three blocks from the site: [URL]https://www.google.com/maps/@43.0226399,-76.108244,3a,75y,237.08h,78.73t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sU3Jup5rqJ7U7f0uLU5uwyw!2e0!7i13312!8i6656[/URL]

About a mile away, north of Euclid: [URL='https://www.google.com/maps/@43.037486,-76.1139737,3a,75y,181.46h,77.59t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1siOUArFSKAtzDlh4iMlU9Vw!2e0!6s%2F%2Fgeo0.ggpht.com%2Fcbk%3Fpanoid%3DiOUArFSKAtzDlh4iMlU9Vw%26output%3Dthumbnail%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.tactile.gps%26thumb%3D2%26w%3D203%26h%3D100%26yaw%3D86.331276%26pitch%3D0!7i13312!8i6656']https://www.google.com/maps/@43.037486,-76.1139737,3a,75y,181.46h,77.59t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1siOUArFSKAtzDlh4iMlU9Vw!2e0!6s//geo0.ggpht.com/cbk?panoid=iOUArFSKAtzDlh4iMlU9Vw&output=thumbnail&cb_client=maps_sv.tactile.gps&thumb=2&w=203&h=100&yaw=86.331276&pitch=0!7i13312!8i6656[/URL] (tree line dead ahead)

Again, sight lines don't matter as much as some other externalities, but those Applecross residents didn't buy one of the few $600,000 homes in Central New York to look at a stadium wall where a green drumlin and setting sun used to be. SEQRA review does take into account "scenic views." Even if SU could force this through, it wouldn't want to burn the goodwill needed to do so.
