Message: [QUOTE="Chip, post: 2473271, member: 19"] I don't know if I agree with this. Has SU ever had as many as 7,500 at the spring game? Ever? BC, Rutgers, Pitt, Maryland, those regional schools we compete with the most. How many fans do they get? I always have fun when I go, but in reality it's a meaningless offseason scrimmage at a time when most people in the area are dying to get outside, not inside. I don't see it driving ticket sales or interest in the program in any material way. Dino's first spring, the offense scored 7,000 TDs. What did that get us that fall? I know it sucks for some of us SU football diehards to accept that we just don't get the interest that the big schools get, but we just don't. If we have a good team that's winning, we'll draw fans. If we don't, then we won't. Everything else about the SU football experience and its impact on ticket sales is just white noise in my opinion. [/QUOTE]
