I remember a few years back seeing ads for a Syracuse-themed Monopoly board. It looked something like this. Of course, it has the names of campus buildings and student life stuff.
That wasn't what I hoped to see.
When I was a kid, we had (and I think we still have) a Mets-themed Monopoly board. This, however, had the names of famous Mets. THAT is what a college sports themed Monopoly board should look like. So I decided to do a long overdue description of what I think a Syracuse monopoly board looked like (I was inspired to act now by this excelent fanpost). Here's what itshould look like in my eyes.
Go would just say "Let's go Orange!" and have the block S logo.
