Honest question from me, bees... and I realize in advance this comparison is not terribly similar, but it's the broader point I want to make...

When I was a kid the Red Sox would sell out every game from basically May to mid-September and run at 90+% capacity for the entire season.  At the same time Sox ownership was practically outright hostile to fans.  Fenway Park, for all it's historical charm, was one of the most uncomfortable places to sit for 3 hours on Earth.  And getting there could range from "difficult" to "absolute freakin' nightmare".  And yet they'd sell out as long as the team was relatively in contention.

At the same time whenever the Pats, who had truly abysmal ownership, would sell out as soon as the team got reasonably good.  The old Foxboro Stadium was a complete dump, and traffic was a 3 hour exercise in torture.

What does SU need to do?  I get that the program has been crappy for many years now, so I'm not really arguing that point.  But when things were good in the 90s, we still didn't pack the place consistently.  Why do CNY fans need to be catered too so severely beyond just having a competitive team?
