Message: [QUOTE="IthacaMatt, post: 4788029, member: 405"] I'm not suggesting that. I'm saying that people who might have bought a ticket to SU vs. [Reasonably Good Opponent] are choosing to drive to Buffalo, instead, to catch a Bills game. Not 20,000 per game, but those 20,000 fans, who among them might come to 2 or 3 SU games per year. Those fans. Those fans are happier to go to Bills games now. It's less hassle, it's more fun, it's more competitive, it's a better product. Not very many Buffalo people used to come to the Dome (we've seen from recruiting over the years that Buffalo itself feels more like Pittsburgh than Syracuse). I'm not suggesting those are the "lost fans" at all. It's CNY'ers who would rather drive to a better game experience for their one or two "in person" games per yer. [/QUOTE]
