Moving the student section could be a good idea...but having attended hoops games in the mid-90's with a bunch of invisible students there need to be some ground rules up front.  If they can't fill the section better than what it is currently, we go back to what it is now.  That means you show up for the big games AND Maine, or your ass gets shipped back to the goal line.  Like the idea of having dorm driven contests, pretty sure UAlbany did that with some success for basketball 5-7 years ago.

Still can't believe how out of touch with reality regarding parking CNY fans are.  I go to plenty of road games and the bigger venues like Florida State and Iowa and Purdue I had to pay $12 for parking...and then walk a mile or take a shuttle to get to the game.  I hear ya when you say that's what it is in CNY...but accept that the best places for parking were when we played MAC teams like Akron and realize that's the standard you're trying to set.  As an alternative I'll offer to volunteer my services to Syracuse, each Friday during football season I'll come into town and run classes instructing people how to walk more than 50 feet and how to properly board a Centro bus so newbie fans can put those skills to use on Saturdays.  (I'm not thrilled with the parking situation at Syracuse, I'm pretty sure Fine Lot will be gone in the next couple years...but it's still a lame-ass reason to not attend a game).

Agree on the scheduling better, but also think fans will need to get out of the cherry-picking of whatever the "good" games are for Syracuse to build a strong program.  In 20 years I haven't seen good attendance at a game vs a MAC opponent, that's a mindset thing for the fan base to overcome.
