I disagree, you create a culture of bandwagon fans by winning, you create a close knit syracuse culture by marketing and playing to your clients.  Get them invested in your product, show them what they are missing out on.  Bandwagon fans will be gone in a second, once you start losing.  Thats no way to sustain fans, there are other ways of bringing people out to the stadium, that is my point.  If you market and educate the locals, they may just come to find out that they enjoy Syracuse events and activites.  For example, my dad moved here from Wisconsin in 1983.  The teams won over 6 games once in 16 years but he went to the games because his buddies from work tailgated for them and learned to love the team.  Now he is a diehard Syracuse fan that maintained season tickets for basketball and football for over 20 years before we moved 3 years ago.  Him being a Syracuse fan, helped me become a Syracuse fan.  It how I was raised.  There are other ways besides winning to get more people to the games.  That is my point.  50,000 seats for over 3,000,000 people is not very much.  To only get 30,000 or even 25,000 to some games should be impossible regardless of the record.  Not to mention this team has won over 7 games in 3 of the past 4 years.
