As you probably saw yesterday, the Syracuse Orange’s homecoming/Orange Central festivities have been moved to September 12-15 — the same weekend as SU’s matchup with the defending national champion Clemson Tigers. That’s a cool idea in many respects. If Syracuse can swing College GameDay that weekend, it’ll be a packed house for sure.
That said, my second thought (after the GameDay note) was one of some slight worry: Do we put all of our attendance “eggs” (so to speak) in one basket here?
With most sports struggling with in-person attendance to some extent, we’ve hopped off that beat in recent years — though SU’s attendance did go up last season.
