Message: [QUOTE="Scooch, post: 1869430, member: 628"] Last point... Our uniquely huge hoops attendance hurts football attendance, especially given the vast difference in the current state of each program. There is only so much time and disposable income to go around. If given the choice it only makes sense that people would prefer to buy tickets to see our perennial top 25, loaded with national stars, constant Final 4 threat hoops team over our struggling football team. I know that affects distant alumni attendance. Most of my alum friends live 5+ hours away from Syracuse and if they're going to spend the money on travel, hotel, etc for a weekend it's likely to be for hoops over football. That the Dome can accommodate 35K for hoops compounds that dynamic. [/QUOTE]
