Message: [QUOTE="Stinger92860, post: 4693713, member: 393"] I am all in on games at MSG. Play Kansas there, thats a sellout With mostly UConn fans. Also, play a B12 vs PX challenge at MSG also. UConn/Baylor men/women double header would be nice at MSG. For Football playing at Metlife will be a challenge. It seats 82K and I’m not sure UConn vs anyone would get over 50K. Maybe the best attendance might be against ND but still nowhere near capacity. Anyone remember The Cuse try? The following paragraph came from an SBNation article in 2016. Against USC in 2012, Syracuse put up a fight but never quite challenged in a 42-29 loss in front of 39,507. That’s an abysmal attendance number (MetLife holds 82,566), especially when some noted that it was [URL='http://dailyorange.com/2014/09/metlife-stadium-benefits-syracuse-financially-in-scheduling-recruiting/']more USC fans[/URL] than Syracuse ones. Against Penn State in 2013, the Orange lost again but attendance was up to 61,202, thanks in large part to having a loyal and local Nittany Lions fanbase nearby. The 2014 game (another loss) against Notre Dame [URL='http://www.metlifestadium.com/news/2014/09/28/notre-dame---syracuse-game-sets-record-attendance-for-college-football-at-metlife-stadium']drew a crowd of 76,802[/URL], breaking the stadium’s college football attendance record, though again it was the “road team” who was credited with the boost. It was by then that MetLife had seen enough, realizing that unless Syracuse played Notre Dame every time, the financials just didn’t add up. Not to mention that SU didn’t seem capable of winning any of these games, thereby robbing them of any sense that national audiences needed to care. [/QUOTE]
