Here’s why football game attendance sucked this season

Doesn’t posting an Insta count as going to the game?

Recently it was announced that this year’s student attendance at Syracuse football games was the second lowest number in recorded history. While that may seem discouraging, I think Cuse students had some valid reasons for missing the games. Here are just a select handful of reasons why you might not have had stellar attendance at the football games this season

You got blacked on East Adams and it was all your friends could do to take you back to your dorm

Syracuse’s culture revolves around sports. But it also revolves around drinking alcohol to get hyped for sports. At any point regardless of location or time, if you tried to start the 7 Nation Army chant, people would probably join in. Even if it was during lecture on a Tuesday. But where Syracuse students really go all out is for the tailgates at Castle and East Adams. Sure, you had every intention of going to the game after the tailgate. But then you threw up on the side of the street and it was over.

You’re one of the five people on earth that don’t care about football

You understand the appeal and you have no beef with people enjoying a sport as American as McDonald’s, but you personally couldn’t care less. Of course you want Syracuse to win, and you’re cheering the team on in spirit, but you would rather get hit by a car then spend 3 hours watching a sport you don’t care about. You feel guilty about this low attendance, but you personally will do nothing to change our rating next year.

You’re salty that the student seats don’t have cushions but the old people seats do

where are our cushions? Why are we standing?

Tuition is 60k a year, tickets were $100 for the season, why should you suffer on cold unforgiving bleachers. How much more do you have to do to get those inflatable cushions? The dome doesn’t need a new roof, it needs cushions on every seat.

You already got the Instagram in your gear from earlier so what’s the point of going to the game

And you looked damn good. You killed it. And Instagramming it is basically like being at the game because you captioned it “go ‘Cuse”. Shouldn’t an Insta count for attendance? You also posted it on Facebook and your aunt asked how the game was and you had to say you didn’t know because you didn’t go but like you’re still super passionate about sports.

You did go and you don’t really care about the attendance ranking because Syracuse Football is your ride or die chick

Yeah, we didn’t have that great of a season. Just like last year. But MAYBE next year will be our year. And no matter what you’re gonna do your best to be at every single game and cheer as loud as you can because sometimes your fave can be problematic and messy but you still love them
