I am just one person but I enjoy going up for the spring game. My son and I catch up on stuff in general, you can see for example new QBs getting some reps, grab a soda and pretzel. If they wanted to collect some Nil dollars they probably could. I like going cuz it's casual.Will our fanbase ever care about the spring game?
I feel like short of coming off a final four playoff season with just about every player returning there will never be any buzz for this game or big attendance. Perhaps if we had a brand new stadium that might be a factor. Maybe if we had the consensus #1 qb recruit who graduated from high school early coming in to play that would move the needle and buzz for the event. I am not even sure if that would matter much.
I could be completely off base and maybe Fran/SU leadership has a different vision but the spring game is a non-event every year. It also seems like it has always been that way. Even when I was a student in the late 1990s when we had big east championship teams and some hype around the team. No one cared at all about the spring game. I can't speak for any other era as I was not in Syracuse in the 1950s or the 1980s when we had nationally relevant teams. Did anyone go then?
Is it really worth investing time and energy into it? DOME or the game could be played on the quad. I doubt anyone would really notice.
Although the crowd size has ebbed and flowed, I agree it will NEVER be what others seem to have.Will our fanbase ever care about the spring game?
