Message: [QUOTE="Jake, post: 1192149, member: 86"] OnTrack was great, but it's never coming back. The actual trains were sold and I believe those particular tracks are now off limits to passenger trains after a recent sale. Too bad - it was the best way to get to games - especially hoops. There are buses that operate from great northern mall and Wegmans Dewitt for each home football game. The connective corridor is free and can take you near the dome and you can snag it a block from armory square. There is one significant issue with shuttles to the game: traffic congestion. 20 minute shuttle trips turn into 45 minute trips, making them highly inefficient and ineffective. Few people want to waste tailgating time on a shuttle bus. I would love to see the ticket price scale flattened. Not reduced, but flattened. For all the crap students take for not showing up, it's the empty seats between the 40s that piss me off. I know its hard to take back something you give people, but the $100 season tickets need to go away. It would allow single game seats in better locations to be dropped -increasing walk ups. Offer incentives to the regular season ticket holders who uses ALL of their allotted tickets. Parking parking parking. The university has turned every parking space near the dome into a building, or made it off limits to park. Cannot tell you how much of a disincentive this is in the age of 60 -inch flat screen HDTV - especially for hoops. I know you can't do anything about this, but thought you should know. My kingdom for a uniform with Orange in it. The athletic department had made huuuuuuge strides establishing orange as our color (take a look at clips from the dome in the 90's where white dominates the stands). I don't care what they look like as long as there is orange. How about a video of the players touching the Ernie Davis statue with a VoiceOver from Floyd little or other players talking about getting excited about playing for Syracuse. Run it just before the opening videos (which are great). People need to know this happens...then maybe they'll show up to see it live. Love the train whistle. Love the DJ...cause the kids like it. Hate the weather forecast as you head out of the dome. I get the practicality of it, but it's a freaking train wreck when it comes on during the flow of the game. Agree with doing anything to get orange on the seats to make it look better. But the bottom line here is, we can brainstorm until we exhaust every idea..but nothing will improve the game day experience like a winning program. [/QUOTE]
