Message: [QUOTE="FrancoPizza, post: 3910711, member: 5195"] This is probably a silly comparison, but the metro area does turn out in droves for the state fair. Relative to the metro population base, it's probably the most well-attended state fair in the country. By daily average, the best attended fair is the Minnesota State Fair within the Minneapolis metro (population 3.2M). The Syracuse metro is ~660k by comparison. The Erie County Fair draws very similar numbers to Syracuse (or slightly less) but has twice the population (Buffalo metro). Not sure if I really had a point here... but I do wonder if football attendance would have an appreciable bump if the Dome were at the fairgrounds and they played 3 home games during the fair's run. Similar to the Cotton Bowl inside the Texas State Fair. [/QUOTE]
