There aren't many college football fans in CNY.  And the ones that exist are usually involved with high school or Pop Warner football on Friday nights and Saturday mornings.  You also have young parents going to their kids soccer and hockey games Saturday afternoons and people enjoying the last bit of summer and early fall weather.  Try and convince the ACC to move your home games to Saturday evenings (6-7pm).  Invite all those youth football players and their families to the games at reduced prices.  You will increase attendance short term and start cultivating your next generation of football season ticket holders.  The night games also become a date night for couples looking to do something on a Saturday night.  And for the tailgaters, you have all day to enjoy yourself.  And the college kids can sleep in, have lunch, make the game and still get to the bars at a reasonable hour on Saturday night after the game.  Easier said than done.  The conference and TV pretty much controls your start times.  And that money is more lucrative than a few extra thousand tickets.
