Message: [QUOTE="DoctorBombay, post: 28447, member: 626"] Moving the bigger games to MSG would be sticking it to the locals, but the exposure would be phenominal. I remember when games were moved from Manley to the Dome- there was this huge outcry about losing the home-court advantage, that the Dome was "too big" & would never be be sold out, the atmosphere was artificial...etc. As students, we started a huge protest movement to NOT move bball to the Dome. In retrospect, we were young, passionate, and WRONG! The "NY's College Team" thingy might have been the trigger that got us out of BE purgatory, & maximizing it would only add to our national brand. Duke vs SU, or UNC vs SU- at MSG would be an sports event...on a national scale. Yes, the locals get screwed & thats unfortunate- but progress ain't always pretty. :noidea: [/QUOTE]
