Maybe some can come to fruition. I still say figure out how to put butts in the club seats at Nippert. It has always bothered me that most of the stadium is filled out but for those premium seats. Not a good look especially during a prime time or night game.

Agreed. I never understood it at Bengals games either (even when they were solid and selling out). Although just taking a quick look it appears PBS club section appears to stand out much more than the Steelers, Ravens, or Browns.

Would love for the club seats at Nip to be packed during a sellout game like UCF last year! Makes a huge difference in overall atmosphere for everyone including those on the field.

How would you do that? Hard to find people that will pay $350 per ticket x 6

If you start selling unsold ones cheap you piss off people like me who are paying the full fare. Perhaps common season ticket holder’s could get an offer once a year to buy up for $100 a ticket.

Anything is better than empty, graveyard seats. Why were they added if they aren't generating revenue? Wasn't that the point of the $80 million plus renovation? Thus, I would hope the Deputy AD has this as a priority from day one.

Why would I and other Club Seaters continue to pay $350 a game to be joined by interlopers at the last moment getting in for say $50 and crowding our food stations and restrooms? We would just stop buying ahead at $350 a ticket and join the commoners at $50 on game day.

I totally understand that.

My question is where are the people when the game is so called “sold out”?

One of the couple best (if not the best) in the Cuse AD department. He gets fan engagement. He went to bat for tailgaters to improve their game day experiences and was on the phone fixing or in person fixing things when the parking Nazis got too full of themselves.

Has John C. set up a Bearcat Fan Council, yet? If so, if Anthony gets involved that would be a huge plus.

Anthony will be an AD within 7 years.

He apparently started to set one up and then the couple people I knew that were contacted and who were interested in helping never heard anything after that.

Any idea why Anthony would leave Cuse? Seems like a bit of a lateral. Roles and titles seem similar at first glance.

Odd year for fan engagement since we can’t attend and he’s busy dealing with so much other crap. I’d expect or hope he reaches back at out to those interested when things get back to so called “normal” or “new normal”.

Also, thanks for the insider info TexanMark. Glad someone as engaged as you are with Syracuse has positive things to say about both!

Why would Anthony take this job? Obviously John C. is offering him more responsibility. Also, a chance for mentoring from John C. Our AD at Cuse is the most informed AD in the area of TV and cable contracts but John C. Is probably stronger in several other areas.
