Message: [QUOTE="Scooch, post: 2917, member: 628"] I don't think attendance is as big a problem as some think. Look, let's say 38K come out Thursday. Is that great? No. But my freshman year, 1991, SU opened against Vanderbilt, to 35K. We played Rutgers in 1998, the weekend after destroying Michigan at the Big House, and drew 42K. Getting 45K+ in the Dome has been the exception, not the rule. Win some games and attendance will increase, it just will. Keep it up and we'll be back to averaging 42-46K, which is really where SU has been at its best. The Dome was probably built 5K seats too large, given our history. I think the place should be full every game, but I love college football and can't think of better things to do. Syracuse just ain't a college football town. Wish it was, but what can you do. [/QUOTE]
