Why don't we play at MSG anymore?

Counterpoint; we played at Barclays last year against Maryland and the reported attendance was 8k. That's not the entire story, MSG vs Barclays isnt a totally one to one comp, but its worth pointing out.

I can round up about 20 people for a Syracuse game at MSG. I can’t even get myself motivated enough to go to a game at Barclays.

Man you must not know park slope. I can give you some spots.

Agree watching games at msg is the Mecca though

I mean Barclays itself is just….meh. What’s the point.

Park Slope is fine…but I don’t need to be sold on the surrounding area to watch games at MSG.

Being in NYC and Playing at Barclays is like being in NYC and going to Sbarros for a New York slice.

I know it's been said here many times before but I so miss the BET at MSG. We always seemed to be right in it year in and year out. I couldn't care less about the ACCT. Granted we have never have had any success in that event but it's just not the same.

We stink and are led by a hc who is weekend at Bernie’s?

Once red is gone I suspect we will have someone who will see value in this no matter the excuses

We seemed to play a lot more games in Brooklyn. That, of course, stinks. Unless you live in Brooklyn, or a few spots in Manhattan, it’s a major PITA to get to Barclays. Getting there from CT, Westchester or Jersey isn’t worth trying.

Completely disagree, it's a super easy trip from NJ. Even from CT or Westchester, you go to Grand Central, hop on the 4/5/6 and you're at Barclays in 15-20 mins.

The new Yankee Stadium? The one that has all the charm of a suburban mall and is built on the parking lot of the old place where all the history actually happened? The stadium that sounds like a Pitbull recording session?

Gonna have to disagree with you there. That place suuuuuucks.

I have also been in Rose Hill gym, which has a lot of CBB history. Have not made it to the Palestra.

We (SU fans) had the place wired. We owned MSG and the Blarney. I think I left the Blarney about 4:30 after the 6 OT game.
