Cuse Football Attendance, heading higher
15-20 years of mostly suckage has eroded the fanbase. There is hope. New Season Ticket Sales are well over 4000. Renewals are running extremely high too. Net gain is easily 3000 in April. With a few more months to sell new season tickets, I expect Cuse will average 42K this year with a chance to go to 44K. Winning cures a lot of what ails you.

It's been long time coming. Dino Babers has the team playing at high levels and the fans excited to watch. The Dome s getting a make over and A/C. It's a good time to be Orange.

RE: Cuse Football Attendance, heading higher
I'm wondering if the 3-game package is being counted with the seasons. They told me those were selling really well when I purchased them. It's a great package for folks that live a bit further away and cant commit to the full seasons. And you get to pick the games which is awesome! This is the way to go for out of towners who want to guarantee reasonable Clemson tickets.
I'm doing my part more this year than I've been able to in the past. 3 home and 3 road games. Hopefully a bowl game too.
Dino F-ing Babers! Lets Go Orange!

I'll try and find out...great point. I tend to think it is full season tickets but you never know.
Do you have your seat locations for the 3 pack? That might help unravel the question.

Those are up high...I think those do not count. They are pushing season tickets in the 100s, 200s and lower 300s. All the cheap tickets in the 100s and 200s are virtually gone.

I think you are correct that they aren't counting those then. Which would be great.
I picked Clemson, Pitt and Wake games. Will also be at Liberty, Maryland and Duke. Counting down the days.

I've got to tell you, I'd been to the Carrier Dome several times, but never in September like I was for the FSU game. I've been to August and September football games in Florida and all over the south, and that game last year was in my top one of most uncomfortable games I've ever been to. No doubt FSU's wretched play, and really the horrible play of both side for the first half contributed to the experience, but it was incredibly unpleasant.
I of course knew about the "no A/C" thing, but it was my first time experiencing it in full force and I will no longer criticize SU attendance when it's warmer than 50 degrees outside. I'm literally shocked you guys can draw 20 people before it gets cold out.

Tell our Clemson boy that...he thinks we exaggerate how hot and uncomfortable it can get in there. Lou sent you a PM about joining me for the Cuse@FSU game this Fall.

Cuse New Season Ticket Holders is at about 5000 now. They should have one of the largest percentage jumps in attendance for 2019.

September 14th. Our third game of the year after we play Liberty and Maryland on the road. We should be top 15 if we don't overlook the first two games. It's gonna be crazy. The hotel prices for that weekend are insane and I booked as soon as the schedule was announced. Ended up paying almost double the rate that I paid last year for the same weekend for FSU game.

RE: Cuse Football Attendance, heading higher
Once Syracuse gets it rolling again, The ACC will be a big notch better. Many youngsters don’t realize the history of Syracuse Football. My favorite player of all time wore 44 for the Orange and 32 for America’s Team, The Cleveland Browns, Mr. Jim Brown. Not to mention Ernie Davis, how great would he have been in Cleveland.
Syracuse Football returning to glory raises the conference a whole new level.

The ACC does need a FB power program in the NE. Hopefully for me it is Cuse

How many top teams does the Atlantic need before the ACC finally revisits these stupid non-geographical divisions though?

RE: Cuse Football Attendance, heading higher
Mark Right is a good man but it sure does feel like he has a ceiling. I think we have to wait a few more years.
BTW, Cuse is now selling Clemson single game tickets for $95. That will drive season ticket sales but the downside could be 10000 no shows.

Mark retired after last season. Manny Diaz is trying to turn it around now. If Coach Diaz doesn’t do it, I’m not sure anyone can.

LOL I hate this league...I knew that but I don't even think about Miami really. I hardly know anything about the coastal and don't even try to keep up save for Pitt (our yearly crossover).
Next thing you'll tell me a school in the Coastal hired some old retread coach to bring back old glory days.
