I agree that it's a shared burden and the school and AD have done a lot to alienate locals and upstaters, which I've never agreed with.

But it's a private university that isn't within a major metropolitan city limit with a football team that hasn't had a very good season since 2001.

If you are banking on people that went to Cuse in NYC, DC, Boston, etc to fill the games against Wake Forest, you aren't going to ever be satisfied. It's not going to happen barring a major change in investment from the school and a series of 9 and 10 win seasons where we are getting national media coverage.

The school needs to mend ties to the locals and those within the semi-local I-81 and I-90 corridors.

They need more added value attractions and to make upstate NY folks feel welcome with or without families in tow.

I can tell you that you will not be getting the kids I went to school with that are in NYC to attend a game like wake forest in the Dome. It's not happening. And the school isn't even close to getting them in the numbers to fill the Dome.
