If the current numbers hold, Friday's home opener will be one of the worst-attended in Carrier Dome history.
At the start of every Syracuse Orange football season, there's one annual tradition that rises high above all others to stand as an issue we can all rally behind: Complaining about the poor attendance at the home opener.
The 2015 season will be no different.
Per Brent Axe, the Dome has sold "just over 28,000 tickets" to tomorrow's game against the Rhode Island Rams and, if the usual trends hold, the final paid attendance should top out somewhere around 30,000.
