Message: [QUOTE="Scooch, post: 359116, member: 628"] A few years ago I did some math, based on attendance and local/regional populations, and SU drawing 45K in CNY was actually a better share than Alabama's attendance share of their home state (I recall arbitrarily giving them 66% of the population, Auburn got the rest). Of course Bama could tell all 70K ticket holders to off and die, and there'd be another 70K waiting in line to take their spot. It's always a numbers game for SU. We may aspire to be NY's team, but we only draw substantially from the counties around Syracuse, and our alumni base is both relatively small and widely dispersed, with the biggest concentrations being 4-5 hours away from campus. I'm fine with reworking the pricing model and dropping capacity to 44K. I'd love to be having an argument years from now that it was foolish to drop capacity because tix are so hard to get. [/QUOTE]
