Outdoors is great in Cuse the first half of the season...then it becomes a real crap shoot...I remember one of the coldest games I ever went to was around Columbus Day Weekend 1975 vs Tulane.  38 degrees and a driving rain.  Thankfully Dave Jacobs made his 5th short FG attempt to win 3-0.
 
 The Dome was the best thing that happened to SU athletics.  If we built a stadium at Hopkins or the State Fair (as proposed)...we'd have a situation like UConn without the amenities.  Manley would've been used way too long (as it was remodeled around 1977) and we would've played in a 9000 seat arena into the 80's...you think we get the recruits we did?
 
Fast forward to 2012:  We would be Temple.  An aging 9000 seat Manley Field House or at best they built a 14,000 seat combo hockey/basketball) arena downtown or at SkyTop sometime in the 90's.  A 40,000 seat stadium off campus would still be at the State Fair or at Hopkins and they would say we can't afford to add amenities to someting that got used 10-12 times a year.
