I think you have to do what Louisville and others non-powerhouses do and that is to engage the business community - and not just for money.  I believe the athletic dept there actively promote businesses who in turn promote to their own employees & families to go to games.  Lville creates and environment to do this - SU does not.

I really just dont know what SU has to offer - no partying on the quad, no concerts, no carnival, no beer or food fests and to top it off tailgating is atrocious due to parking lot nightmares.  Simply no game day atmosphere except for listening to the band play the same old pregame songs on the quad - that's it.  Those songs really do not appeal to the younger generation - just look sometime who stands their and watches - grandma and grandpa.

All SU has right now is just a game and attendance is based on wins and losses - a vicious circle.

My company teaches that if you sell a product based on price alone, you lose in the long run.  You have to sell value.  Im not talking about the hard core fan that loves watching football, but where is the value to the casual fan to come to the games?
