re: Atmosphere for Syracuse game.

I could be wrong but I think a factor in it is many people buying tickets don't give a damn about the game on the field but are there as a social event. They go, snap some pics, post on all their social media accounts that they were there then head home halfway through the game or to the next social gathering.

This has always been the case. Season tickets have been a status symbol in Baton Rouge for decades - long before the team was winning anything on a regular basis.

The fact is that people have so many entertainment options these days (live and otherwise) - it's hard to dedicate their attention to one single event for an entire day.
