The increase in season-ticket sales was evident at Syracuse's regular-season opener on Friday night against Cornell. The game drew 24,788 fans to the Dome. It was Syracuse's largest crowd for an opening game since the 1990-91 season. And it was far above the attendance for last year's opening-night game when a crowd of 17,273 watched the Orange defeat Fordham.
