I've got no problem with a once in a while Kickoff Classic type game.  10 games over the 10-15 yer4ars or whatever would only be OK if they are being schedueld as neutral site games not relocated "home" games.  All this discussion of alumni location is silly.  Yes Syracuse is a private school and does not have the luxury of being a large state school with a large number of alumni still within driving distance.  But reality it is similar to a large state school because of the large local fan base.  I'm just guessing but I'd guess at least 75% of those attending Dome games are not SU students or SU alumni.  And like it or not they are the core of the SU fanbase and always will be.   The Dome would have been sold out yesterday for a #2 ranked USC team.  To say USC would never have played in the Dome just shows your youth and I'll excuse you for not being familiar with a successful SU program.  But the Dome has hosted many top programs over the years; Notre Dame, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Nebraska, Ohio State, Penn State, Florida State, Florida, Texas,  BYU, Auburn, Iowa are some of the non-conference games we have hosted.  And I believe Notre Dame was the only 2-1 in the bunch.  No reason at all that USC wouldn't play in the Dome.  It was the good Dr's idea to move it and they jumped at it.
