Yankee Stadium Billboard Sign

Says "Syracuse New York's College Team" just noticed this while watching the Yankee game. Since the only team they can be talking about is men's basketball, I wonder what the angle is because Neww Yorkers root for St. John's, Rutgers, maybe Hofstra but not Syracuse. Syracuse NY is Yankee country for baseball but Ny is not Syracuse country for anything but their grads.

They had this up for at least a year. I just try not to look at it when im at the stadium.

Yeah it was up last year. They're a lot closer to Canada than NYC. They absolutely own Buffalo though.

We are physically closer to NYC than they are. It's probably more about recruiting students to their expensive institution.

The University of Maryland and Boston College are physically closer than they are.

Hell, Georgetown is closer to MSG than Syracuse is.
