I couldn’t be more thankful for the contributions Meier’s Creek makes to SU Athletics. Their involvement with SU Football NIL, major donation to SU Athletics, and helping to provide the opportunity for young fans that otherwise would not be able to attend to experience game day in the Dome is a primary reason we are experiencing one of the best football years in the last quarter century. I doubt Coach Fran or John Wildhack would have any issue with the posts here.
Now I may change my mind when you introduce me to one person who was thinking “I guess I'll have to go to the Dome today because I can't watch the game at home on tv and there are no sports bars in Syracuse where I could watch? Oh wait! Meier's Creek has a tv! I'll go there instead!"
Could they say "If you're not going to the Dome come here?" or reduce the amount they contribute to run buses and give discounts to fans who come in with their tickets post game? Sure but you're tilting at windmills here if you think a post on syracusefan has any effect on game attendance.
People should be encouraged to attend the game.
I’m sure that the players would much rather have the people in the stands rather than at Meier’s creek.
Spin it anyway you want but you’re dead wrong here.
I’m sure that Coach Fran would have a problem with people going to Meiers Creek instead of the Dome. Especially for this massive game against Miami.
As I’ve said over and over again, it’s in poor taste to advertise an event DURING the game.
Advertise for after the game or before the game and encourage people to stop by the taproom to pick up beer for their tailgate.
The issue lies here because it’s specifically DURING the game.
Again, a sold out game, different story. But we’re talking about a team that’s won a lot of games this year, with a reduced dome capacity and we still aren’t selling out. They need every bit of help they can get.
Tickets sold to the game help out the university cover the cost of the scholarships etc. The athletic department needs tickets to be sold.
I understand that it’s probably slim that their post is actually effecting anything but it’s the optics.
People spoke out about it last week and that should have been the end of it. To come back and post AGAIN for this week is in very poor taste.
