Message: [QUOTE="SUFan44, post: 1312167, member: 39"] Pepsi Center in Albany gets no national exposure. They house Siena basketball - regional at best - and AHL team. The venue is never on ESPN except for the MAAC Tournament final and MAYBE a few ESPNU games a year. HSBC houses hockey (not a premium money maker), occasional games with St. Bonaventure & a bunch of periphery sports. Not exactly great exposure outside the WNY area. The Carrier Dome has a basketball team that gets quality ratings on ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU & CBS more than occasionally, not to mention a football team that plays on ESPN 2-3 times a year on average. Last year the Carrier Dome had a game on ESPN twice (L'Ville, FSU), not to mention Syracuse's other national TV games (Notre Dame, at Clemson, at Pitt). That's huge compared to HSBC or Pepsi Center. We would get at least what HSBC received. And I would venture a guess that if done correctly, we should get more. [/QUOTE]
