Agreed.  NIMBYs should not be a factor here.

Attendance for men's soccer so far this season:

UMass 1709
Loyola Marymount 1468
Colgate 1540
St John's 1623
Hofstra 1005

I didn't include the game against New Hampshire at Ensley that was closed to the public.

Pretty good numbers for teams that are not big powers or conference rivals.

BC has an excellent program, so does UNC and Wake.  I bet we have sellouts for all three of those games and I bet V Tech draws a big crowd was well.  For comparison purposes, I know SU had crowds of 2200 last year for Rutgers and Louisville and I know they had a sellout against Notre Dame the year before.

But the expansion should be being driven more by lacrosse than the emergence of strong attendance at men's soccer games.  Assuming we are going to lose the Dome as a venue for men's lacrosse for one or more seasons.  If that isn't the case, maybe leaving the field at current capacity can be justified.
