The Dome was empty...again. Where are the fans?

[Cuse12]

This is the way it is with 99% of fanbases. There's really very few exceptions.

Yes especially in the college athletics realm, good point

If you are 18 year old or less, is the Syracuse brand that meaningful to you (whether you are from Syracuse, reasonable range from Syracuse (3 hours), or if you are a fan of NCAA basketball in general)

The longer term impact of this is concerning.

Even when Duke and UNC had bad years (talking the Coach K "bad back" season, there were plenty of empty seats. Maybe Notre Dame football might be an exception?

ive been watching cuse for decades...this is an unwatchable product if you care about logic or common sense. Decisions made by coaches and players are ridiculous. We are underachievers and the dumbest team in the NCAA. Its an insult to our intelligence for anyone to expect fans to support this garbage. I gave up watching after the Miami game this year. I cant believe I lasted that long.

You are correct. But in 2026, college basketball roster construction is largely based on how much NIL you can give current college and European players…..Much less about HS seniors.

The right hire, combined with NIL backing, can get this program competitive very quickly. The stands will be filled February 2027 if the new coach has it looking better

If this was 2006 I’d be more concerned about what you’re saying. Even if we got the right coach, you are relying on HS kids to rebuild your program and that is an absolute crapshoot

this is rock bottom

Wait for the pitt game

19,000? Try 1,900.

Couldn't get in my brother's driveway at 5:45 pm tonight.

And I damn near didn't get back in my own driveway after the game.

Lake Effect snow warning for 8-10 inches tonight. If people chose to stay home and watch on TV, I can't say they made the wrong decision.

 

[Starman]

this is how Syracuse fans voice their opinions. I know some other fanbases support through and through but this is just the way it is in this town. Win and they will come

I think they'd get more people showing up even when bad if things weren't so expensive. It's a way to spend a couple hours.
