Help bring football back at Dome opener
by The Post-Standard
What's the point, you ask? The one element that never gets enough credit for these successes has been the loyal support shown the Orange teams by those many fans who've made playing in this town so difficult for SU's foes.
Coach Doug Marrone has accepted his challenge to return the Syracuse football program, which begins the 2009 season on Sept. 5 against Minnesota, to its previously respected level. We can do our part to accelerate that process by swallowing hard and showing a willingness to come aboard -- or to come back again -- and be with this program starting with that home opener. We can make the Loud House roar!
On Sept. 20, 1980, a crowd of 50,564 attended the SU-Miami (Ohio) contest in the first-ever game played in the Dome. That remains the building's attendance record. Why not make it our town's goal to break that record at Marrone's debut against Minnesota?
The dismal days must be forgotten or forgiven. Then our pride from that listed above can return ... sooner rather than later.
