This thread has been very entertaining to read. Everyone on this board is a diehard, but I don't give a crap if the people in the lower seats don't know who Malachi Richardson, Tyler London, Frankin Howard are or if they know who Ron Patterson, Chino, B.J. Johnson are. The people/companies that buy luxury boxes, court-side seats are putting the money in the AD office that allows Syracuse Athletics to build new facilities, pay coaching salaries, buy more guarantee home games.
The fine people who have season tickets in 300s, 200s are helping the program as well and should be commended. However, you need the bigwigs and calling them inferior fans is wrong. It doesn't matter who is more of a fan as diehard v. casual fan. If Syracuse wanted to make the Carrier Dome more intimidating they could put the students behind the benches, but they choose to take the $$$ from season tickets there and I have no problem because that $$$ helps SUAD.
