Grantland ran a piece about a documentary that was made by a guy from Saskatchewan, who lived in Syracuse and got his idea for the film while living there and going to games at the Dome:

Interesting! I had to smile a little when he said there were diverse people in the Dome. Looks pretty white bread to me.

To be fair, he was not talking about racial diversity. He was talking about socioeconomic diversity. Although the same could be said for just about every sports arena in the country.

What is the difference between a townie and a local? I'm interested. And we should alert the anthropologists!

In Syracuse, the townies who go to the games wear white mock turtlenecks under their shirts. The locals, however, wear slightly different white mock turtlenecks under their shirts. The difference is subtle but it means everything.
