I know you do.  And I think there's a few thousand fans with a similar mindset as you and the Fine guys.
 
There are thousands more who just don't bother.  
 
Back in my season ticket holding days, 1995-2003, my crew would tailgate at the old open lot on the corner of South Crouse across from Newhouse II.  We were INTO it.  We'd get there 4 hours early and do it up. We were always among the first people in the lot and it wouldn't fill up until [I]maybe[/I] 60-90 minutes prior to kickoff.  There were no passes, it was a pay lot, and I don't think it was more than $7-10.  And the team was pretty darn good for much of that stretch, with lots of high-profile opponents.
 
My point is that[I] anyone[/I] who wanted to could have pulled into that lot, which was a 5 minute walk to the Dome at most, and tailgated up a storm.  Most people did not.
 
Kaiser is right, there just isn't a tailgate culture.  I don't know why, but there isn't.
 
SU could do more, I'm sure, they always can do more.  But from my experiences the horse just ain't gonna drink the water.
