This is something I was thinking about recently, but not as pertains to SU students, but the general public.  I think students would accept the concept of games being free, they know it happens at other schools.  And while there is certainly (and obviously) a 'things cost too much on gameday' contingent in CNY, there is also a contingent that would think SU can't given tickets away so why would I go, it must not be much of an event.  They could price Saturday Nova or G'Town tickets at $35 in the opposite end zone from the court and people couldn't buy them fast enough.

Football games just aren't an event right now.  We'd probably need to be ranked, and we'd probably need our opponent to be ranked.  Even at that, if the opponent is some BE no-name like USF, still wouldn't be enough for a mid to late 90s type crowd, but maybe a good 42k.

For the 5,000th time, why I'm so excited about ACC, without some of our current northeast competitors.  Use that recruiting advantage to vastly improve our product, have more interesting games (even the B list ACC games are as good as what one might consider an A list BE game).  Sooner the better...
