The discussion of travel to away games brought another question to mind.  How many of the old Big East teams played their home games in an on-campus facility, and how many used public arenas?  Among other things, back when Notre Dame joined the conference, there was a discussion in one of their forums about traveling to Duke for a basketball game.  Those posting seemed of the opinion that they could simply travel to Durham and buy a ticket with no difficulty.  In the ACC, such wasn't the simplest thing to do at schools with their own on-campus arena.   Most of those schools' games were sell-outs in preseason.  When Syracuse joined the conference, Maryland, Virginia, UNC, Duke, and Clemson all owned their facilities.  I'm not exactly clear on N C State, Georgia Tech, Miami, or FSU.  Wake Forest does play in a public facility, I think.  Would Syracuse's ability to travel in numbers to away games have been facilitated by the fact that opponents were playing in public coliseums?  Just a bit curious.
