What's the top five? And what has the school done to combat it?
More fun to watch the games at parties
Most can't drink in the Dome
Those who can drink, can't drink free.
Walk from frat row is too long. Need shuttle buses
Simple lack of interest. Strong turnout during freshman year but renewal rate has been abyssmal.
Game times. Kids hate nooners. Weeknights are at the mercy of study time, particularly at exam times.
-Syracuse was the first in the nation to roll out a student rewards program in partnership with SideArm. Student program is the predecessor to the Fan Rewards applet and includes more activities and more lucrative rewards.
-Student engagement has been a focus with a dedicated fan experience rep and the extension of Cuse Council from a handful of student reps to a separate student only forum
- Introduced a four year option for athletics last year. Basically you prepay for first three years, get fourth free.
- Several initiatives through Greek Council to build a competitive environment between houses for attendance and support
- I know that representatives from the AD's office, including Wildhack himself have met with various student groups. I believe Dino actually attended one of these sessions last season.
I wonder to what degree the boycott before the holidays has had on January attendance. Did some find other avenues for social interaction and entertainment were more desirable than coming to games? Will be interesting to see the turnout for Saturday.
