Northwestern is the same size as of '10, Wake draws just over 30k ( and this is in an extremely vibrant area), BC is at 38k in a major metropolitan area, Duke can't draw flies, Vandy is in football paradise(as has been discussed) and still draws but 32k. You're wiggling and twisting but your argument is all over the map. We'll surpass Wake and probably BC in just a couple of years, economy be damned.
     Do some research and you will a lot of unfilled stadiums. BC is the 5th best private school as far as % capacity and it is at 86%. Their stadium is apparently about the size of ours. I would guess that had USC been in the dome, we would be averaging about 33-35k per game this year. You are not going to sell out with Stoney playing. I think that having the big names out of the dome is partly what Bees and others are saying. These are the games that even casual fans will turn out for and the diehards deserve to see them without having to drive 11 hours. The NY area alumni have had a chance and will probably get another but they need to put up or stop blaming the CNYers.
