Message: [QUOTE="snowycuse, post: 350634, member: 1910"] If who supported the team? Many in CNY support Syracuse athletics like a pro team without having any direct connection other than living near the school. Us non-alumni dump quite a bit of money and outside of having a D1 program to root on their is not much of a return. Did not see the school springing for busses for local season ticket holders. Attendance being around 39K with 4500 known USC fans place it below Dome standards. I would counter that it is the alumni in Boston, NYC, Philadelphia, Buffalo, Albany, etc that move away from Cuse that are not doing their part in filling the dome. The core CNY/Alumni base is good for nearly 40K a game. I do not feel a game should be moved to NYC to make up that missing 9K but that those alumni should get up to the Dome. We are doing our part here in CNY watching Stony Brook, Colgate. They sit on their but in NYC and still get USC, Notre Dame, and Penn State. [/QUOTE]
