Message: [QUOTE="suloyalfan, post: 752997, member: 397"] I'm not blasting anyone. I AM a local die-hard fan, not an SU alum, and I attend the games... I'm replying to your argument that says economics (Carrier has been gone since 2003) has reduced the fan base (so the pool of "locals" is smaller) so it's hard to fill the Dome. We're on the same side here, but following the economic argument of a reduced fan base unable to support the stadium capacity, then reduce the capacity until conditions change. I would rather have 40,000 available seats filled than 50,000 available seats with 10,000 seats open. I know that it's a different sport, but even the nationally elite SU basketball team would rarely, if ever, fill 50,000 seats in the Dome. I also realize that many SU fans follow basketball, but not football and vice versa, but it's still representative of the SU fan base as a whole. [/QUOTE]
