Message: [QUOTE="HtownOrange, post: 157208, member: 622"] Thanks, gents, for the question and the response. Now no discussion would be complete without an unreasonable rabbit trail, so here it is: How would this be affected by changing the teams played? Specifically, Syracuse plays in opposition venues largely on the east coast where we have graduates, families and retirees who can get to the games easily. How would a Syracuse visit to Boise State, Texas Tech, St. Mary's, Washington State, etc. affect their attendance? I realize this can only be speculation, so chime in with your two cents. I suspect we gain a windfall as we primarily play at eastern based schools where our fans can more easily attend an away game. I would suspect that Duke would garner enough interest in an out of the way place like Nebraska or Colorado or a west coast team. UNC, Michigan State, Kentucky, and a few others may do the same.
