I understand that there are strong economic factors in play and that families have less disposable income, but I stand by my belief that in general, Syracusans chronically under-appreciate how unbelievably great of a sports town they have.

Regardless of where you live in the metro area, you can leave your house, park, and be seated in the Dome to watch a high-level college football or basketball game in less than an hour.

I mean, look at other comparably-sized Rust Belt cities throughout the Northeast, (e.g. Dayton, Toledo, Scranton/WB, Rochester, Albany, Providence, etc.).  All great towns - but in terms of sports, what do they have?  Minor league hockey, minor league baseball, maybe a low-level college football or basketball team (not that there's anything wrong with those things).  But Syracuse has a national brand, and the 5th and 15th winningest college basketball and football programs in history.  I wish that wasn't taken for granted so much.
