Syracuse hosted its biggest football crowd of the 2018 season Saturday night when North Carolina State came to the Carrier Dome.
Luring 40,769 people to a football game wasn’t luck or happenstance, but in part the culmination of months of work and a week-long blitz from Anthony Di Fino, Syracuse associate athletics director for business development. Prior to the game, Di Fino highlighted two main groups SU targeted to fill the Dome: Students and residents of nearby cities and towns like Rochester, Watertown or Utica.
“To market a game in six days, that to us is the toughest part,” Di Fino said.
