Syracuse, N.Y. – If you’ve been to a Syracuse University basketball game at the JMA Wireless Dome this season -- and judging by all the visible metallic gray seats, you haven’t -- then you probably noticed that attendance is down.

Syracuse, which annually resides among the NCAA’s attendance leaders for men’s basketball, is seeing attendance numbers at a 20-year low with just three home games left in the regular season.
