The opinions seem to fall into the following categories.
[LIST]
[*]Are OK because
[/LIST]
[INDENT][INDENT]they give the NYC fan base an opportunity to see the team play
they make SU a lot of money
they give us national TV exposure
they help SU in recruiting
they give NYC area players families a chance to see them play
they allow SU to schedule teams that would not go to the Dome
if they are not home games[/INDENT][/INDENT]
[LIST]
[*]Are not OK
[/LIST]
[INDENT][INDENT]under any circumstances
if they are not home games because it reduces the number of home games
we don't need the money anymore
we always lose
there are too many opponents fans there
it cheapens the product (???)
we really don't get any recruits from them
they (somehow) screw loyal season ticket holders
[/INDENT][/INDENT]
Many of these don't seem to amount to much more than rationalization of an opinion. It all seems to come down to locals vs New Yorkers. That being the case, the Yankee Stadium deal would seem to be a good compromise.
