I think SU has been lazy and the comments in the paper don't give me any confidence that they get it.

The price structure needs to be fixed. This has been an issue for years yet nothing has been done to fix it. A renovated Dome might force their hand since seating will be changed.

The sad state of sports today is that you need to make it an event. SU does nothing in this regard. The die hards will come anyway. The casual fans need bells and whistles. If you are a purist this sucks but you are coming anyway. Part of Mark Cuban's philosophy is to sell entertainment not basketball. That is what we need to do. I hate it but that is the state of sports today. That starts pregame and needs to continue during the game. The quad can be used so much better. The school sponsored tailgates when we played at USC and Washington is something that SU should do. What we have now is a joke. During the game SU needs more activities around the Dome. That means the people and kids won't be paying complete attention to the game, but that is what it takes today.

Also they need to grow the alumni fan base.  From Boston down to DC is not a bad drive back to campus. SU should really be able to get 3 games packs sold to more alumni who care about football. Include homecoming and then a choice of 2 other games. The alumni are not a large part of the issue but they can be part of the solution. Get the 3 pack and go with your family to 2 games and your buddies the other. You can find 3 weekends out of the year to support the team.
