LOL that is simply insane. So you want 5k empty seats 4 times a year just because you may need 48k twice a year? How does that benefit the 42k that show up every week? How does that benefit SU? If you have 42k every game and charge $31.50 you earn more money than having 42k for four games and 48k for 2 games at $30. The financial benefit of being at 49k vs 44k is negligible. 
 
Hell if we do become good again wouldn't it be nice to have a sell out streak? Wouldn't that be good publicity and for the moral of the program. If you have SU selling out 12 straight games there is a buzz about the program. Just look at BBall and all the silliness that goes along with having 34k.
 
Having empty seats has a negative effect on the players, recruiting, fan attitude, and looks bad on TV. So why not reduce those things as much as possible? Especially if financially it doesn't have a negative consequence? I fail to see a negative in going down to 44k. The only people it will impact is the bandwagon fans. But since they are bandwagon fans who cares. Shouldn't the real fans coem first?
