Yes but if it is only about winning then is a vicious circle when your team loses like SU has done over the last decade.  You got to create an "atmosphere" beyond winning to get casual fans to come win or lose - they will come if its a "game day" experience.

I have heard of some terrific ideas - all stopped dead in their tracks because SU itself cannot get out of its own way by throwing up so many roadblocks due to their "fear" of potential lawsuits.  One simple example is to allow drinking around the Dome and on the Quad during game days only.

And before you people jump all over this as a bad idea - well then get rid of beer sales inside the Dome.  It simply does not make sense to me - SU - "NO Drinking Outside of Dome" versus "Drinking allowed Inside Dome Only".  Where is the sense in this?

I have heard of so many great ideas - and non original but allowed at other Universities - but they all get killed by the SU administration - even money making ideas.  The SU Admin (yes that includes the old Chancellor & BOD) simply lives in fear and fear causes inaction.  They really need to hire different legal counsel and I am encouraged that the new Chancellor has a legal mind - I just don't know if he gets atmosphere and that football drives the bus.
