Good post.

The economy thing is misinterpreted. First, assuming Central New York is "poorer" than it was twenty years ago (and I don't know that that is the case), ticket prices are correspondingly less expensive, in real dollars, than they were back then. Second, there has been a pretty big demographic shift that has accompanied our changing economy. Don't want to offend (or over-simplify) with generalizations, but the short of it is this: a lot of people who work in manufacturing liked to go to football games; a lot of people who work in eds and meds do not like to go to football games.

People spend their money differently. Outside of our small football group, I don't know anyone who has even a passing interest in the team in particular or college football in general. I have more friends and acquaintances with season tickets to Syracuse Stage than I do with seasons for football. It's weird to me, but there's no accounting for personal tastes.
