Hate quoting myself, but I want to clarify my first statement.
 
I applaud SU for making $100 season tix available. It's a great effort and a nod to the fact that they understand the market they are working with.
 
But I don't think the experience of going to a game in not-so-great- seats (even though there really isn't a bad seat in the house) is better than being home in the comfort of your home, spending less money and taking less of your time to a lot of people.
 
That is why the experience has to be something more than the game. If everyone got the TexanMark experience, I think they would love it. But that isn't the case.
 
I still think SU has to make an effort to re-connect with the people of Syracuse and the surrounding areas. I'm not going to argue the merits of Syracuse being NY(C)'s team, but the fact of the matter is I think the guiding marketing principle for the local area should be Syracuse is Syracuse's team first and foremost. That's a hard sell when some marquee games are in MetLife, all the advertising they are showcasing is in NYC, etc.
 
I'm not discounting those efforts. I get it. But the fact of the matter is we aren't ever going dominate the NYC market. We are an upstate NY team. We need to have a strong foundation of local and regional support to build on.
