Message: [QUOTE="OttosBestFriend, post: 699165, member: 852"] Your rejection of my idea doesn't take into account the fact that for many of the last 12 years, Syracuse has been awful. Why would r!val fans spend $500 to $1K or more on a weekend (travel, lodging, ticket, meals) to see a game that's basically "blah". In the 90's, lots of opponent fans filled the Dome. I remember Miami in particular bringing tons of people in 1992. Plus ALL of those former Big East schools you mentioned - save for USF - had several other options for their NY metro area alumni bases to attend games. In the ACC, we are basically it. ('Cuse and BC) And there's no denying that, for the most part, fans of ACC schools tend to be more passionate than the UConns, Rutgers, and Cincinnati's of the world. If Syracuse keeps winning 7,8, and, hopefully, 9+ games a year, you can be sure that our opponents' fans will come up to the Dome. [/QUOTE]
