I think the real issue is how economically depressed Syracuse is and how poor the potential fan base is. Things must be really bad up there now. I grew up dirt poor in the Mohawk Valley, so while I live out of town now, I do have some perspective.

To hear folks bitching about the price of tickets is astonishing. I bought season tickets to SU games for me and my boys for the cost of good seats to ONE Red Sox game.

And people complain about traffic. When I drive into Syracuse I feel like I'm in a walking dead episode. Roads are clear compared to the rest of the country. And parking...I never have trouble finding a spot in a garage near m street or on walnut park. I don't get it. The rest I the world has logistical issues too. It's friction, the cost of doing business, stop bitching.

And those who say the Fair is in town, how much money do you spend there? What the  is there to do at the fair besides watch freaks smoke and get paler on a sunny day? And the fair is on for three weeks. Take a break from the fried dough and walk up the hill to burn some calories.

The all time classic though is the "raking the leaves" crowd. You  need to put the rake down and get a piece of out-of-town-strange every once in a while.

And you guys who bitch about games being played at Met Life, this is why it happens. You won't even go to the FSU game unless the tickets are free and someone picks you up at your house and drops you curbside with a concession voucher.

That's how it looks from someone who lives out if town.
