Tradition isn't the problem. SU has tradition. Just ask anyone who is still trying to get #44 unretired. But like that number, it's relevance to many is a thing of the past. Yes, the Dome was packed in the 80's. I know, I was there too. It's not like spring practice was big then and isn't now. It's never been big. SU's spring games have never been a big deal, even when SU was winning. March Madness came along in the mid-late 90's and was put into Manley and was sort of a novelty. ESPN showed up and it was fun. It took awhile but it grew from there to a point where MJ's daughter hosted the festivities last year. I don't see that happening in football. What would be the spring football game's version of a dunk contest or a 3 point shooting contest? There isn't any. I know many people who follow the basketball team and will go to an occasional game who could careless about the football team. All that being said, I still like going to the spring game, and will continue to attend when my schedule permits.
