The only solution is to have a winning record every season (or just about). Do this, and you will see incremental increases in attendance year after year so that eventually, you're selling out the opener and another big game during the season. Start putting up 10 and 11 win seasons on a consistent basis and you will start selling out every game (probably will never happen:( ).
 
Anything short of consistent winning will not bring the casual fans and won't build any sustained excitement that will create new, lifelong fans.
 
Students and alumni (as a whole) have not held up their end, imo. I can't tell you how many alums I've seen leave at halftime of games to go to the bars. I just don't get it. Why spend the money to go to a game you're not even interested in. I remember trying to get kids on my floor to go to football games with me my sophomore year at SU - and this was in 1988 and these kids had tix!!!  The culture just isn't there at SU for some reason and it's really nothing new. There have almost always been a lot of empty seats for home games (save for the big rivalries) as long as there has been football at SU.
