It is a perfect storm, however, it's just a tough sell. NYS is so regionalized, different from many other states. When you really think about it, SU should have no difficulty whatsoever to sell out the dome if the state residents cared a hoot about SU. The Buffalo area with all its population & only 2 hours away, for the most part, could care a less about Syracuse. Generally, Albany and areas east don't really care either. Now, the North country does have a huge following, but, for obvious reasons, there's not a lot to capitalize up there on.
 
I don't know why this is, other than possibly for so long SU (being private and all that that implies) isolated themselves as such in the region/state, etc., doing a poor job in attracting a broader geographical interest within the state. With Buffalo primarily being a pro town (the Bulls have only been D1 for a very short time) SU could've really capalized there with better efforts...etc. etc.
 
On aside, I do feel that Cantor's vision of community is a positive thing, one which Syracuse can capitalize on  in their attempt to expand upon its geographical footprint statewide.
