Message: [QUOTE="kingottoiii, post: 338706"] Excess capacity is never a good thing. Does the casual fan care about Clemson, BC, MD, Pitt, NC St, and Wake? Or GA Tech, UNC, Duke, and UVA? I think the ACC move will absolutely help the butts in seats. So that announced 40k that is actually only 36k will actually be 40k. I think the ACC move will help for the real fans and decrease no shows. But it has been a long time since we have had over 42k at SU. In the 2000s we reached that number only twice. And one of those, the butts in seats was likely under 42k. In the last 12 years the actual attendance averaged over 43k zero times. You certainly can blame the GRob years on our record. But how can one explain the last 5 years of P and the Marrone years so far? Can we average much more than 42k if we are a 6 to 8 W program year in and year out? If so then we should keep capacity at 49k. If not then why not spruce up the Dome and make it look full at 44k? [/QUOTE]
