I think its also a matter of shifting priorities in spending of disposable income.   Food has taken share as people spend more to eat healthier, telecom spend (cable, cell phones etc) are much much higher than 15 years ago, gym memberships and yoga classes are way bigger (not to mention debt servicing as credit usage as % of disposable income is way higher).  People are doing more things as individuals, less as groups - going to SU games is I think for many locals a core element of being part of the broad community.   As people care less and less about community at large and focus more on themselves and their segmented little corner of the community (socioeconomically divided neighborhoods, alternative private schools, yoga classes etc vs knights of Columbus, pot lucks at the fire station etc).   The internet, real estate prices, and lack of a common enemy (we all united around not liking communism) - has led to a decline in community - and as unrelated as it seems that will definitely hit college football attendance in a town like Syracuse.
