most teams have scrimmages that first weekend, i would think most would be saturday so a friday  game gets away from all that.

just go back that last 10 years and look

2004 1-1 blown out by purdue, looked avg vs Buffalo and played a who cares Cinci 32K
2005 0-0  WV new coach 45K labor day weekend
2006 0-1 B10 Iowa 37K labor day weekend
2007 0-0 pac 12 Wash night game. lost of hype 40K labor day weekend
2008 0-1 Akron 31K
2009 0-0 Minn 48K  big hype game new coach 49K labor day weekend
2010 1-1 Maine 38K
2011 0-0 Wake ACC night game 41K labor day weekend
2012 0-0 NW b10 34K lots of energy
2013 0-2 Wagner 33K

labor day weekend has not mattered.  big name opp have not mattered, its all about the hype, if SU does not market the game there will no energy and no people.   they should be trying to promote the team, sell tickets on the cheap get energy in the crowd to come to game one and hope they get them to come back to game 4.  Vill should be a 10-20 ticket and sell that price early, instead they are trying to maximize the price and will end up with a 28-34K crowd if the FSU promotion does not work as hoped.  and really if people are paying attention they should be passing on the 3 pack because they have to do something to fill the place for the later games.
