Message: [QUOTE="Crusty, post: 350940, member: 2265"] If SU was in some rural backwater Southern town, they would have better attendance. CNY has over 1 million inhabitants and can't draw 40,000 to Div 1 football games. CNY just does not care about SU football. Dr. Gross has a big problem and he knows it. He is playing the few cards he has to try and broaden the fan base and everybody bitches and moans about the loss of one frickin home game. If the CNY fans showed up he would not have to try anything. One of the most storied football programs in the country and CNY won't fill a 49,000 seat stadium.- lucky to draw 39,000. Ann Arbor has a pop of 113,000 and the SMA about 344,000. Syracuse is about 145,000 and 662 respectively. Auburn, AL has a pop of about 50,000 and MSA of 456,000. Oxford MS has a pop of 18,000 and MSA of uh 18,000. Compared to any of SU's peers we must be last in fan support. [/QUOTE]
