I understand the point about not seeing "marquee" OOC games at the Dome, but it's only 1 game (not even every year) and if the extra money gained for these games is utilized appropriately it should help advance the program (facilities, national exposure, recruiting).  I think that the "sacrifice" that fans are making in this case is worth it.
 
I also hear the argument about how "marquee" OOC games would fill the Dome, so why should we move these games.  However, our most recent "marquee" OOC game at the Dome sticks in my mind.  The Penn State game a couple years ago is a prime example.  Even with the throngs of Penn State fans and a renewal of the rivalry, the Dome was STILL not sold out for that game!  I realize that SU football was in the worst stretch in it's history, but this was an opportunity for the community to express their interest in SU football and we fell flat (and yes, I was there at the game).
 
Lastly, with all of that said, I still think that our home football schedule each year is going to be more appealing now that we're in the ACC with teams like Miami, Florida State, Clemson, Georgia Tech, Va Tech, Boston College, North Carolina, NC State, Wake Forest, Pittsburgh, Virginia, Maryland, and Duke making their way to the Dome... also, anyone who is willing and/or able can still make their way to NYC for the OOC game played there.
