what proportion of a population can be reasonably expected to go to a game?
 
there are big state schools in small towns with big alumni bases that stay within reasonable driving distance, those are bad comparisons.
 
smaller student bodies drawn from a national pool = smaller crowds
 
lots of schools in small towns have being regional fan bases because either there's no pro team anywhere near them or the pro team has no fans.  it's going to be one or the other.  rochester is captured by the bills, there's not enough people there to be a regional supporter of both teams.  i don't know about albany.
 
i think they need to reduce capacity.  selling a game to NYC is effectively a reduction in capacity for the whole season (just like the bills selling games to Toronto)
 
is there a big difference in perception going from 50k to 40k?
 
how are we doing in proportion of alumni in NY and DC making trips to syracuse once a year or every other year?
