Good venue didn't like that we had to park off campus and take a shuttle bus to stadium.

Syracuse Orange Football at JMA Wireless Dome
The big, echoing Loud House is one of college sports' most iconic venues, a response to a question that no one was asking, but everyone was delighted to learn the answer to: What would it be like if sports were played in an enormous bubble? Syracuse's football, basketball and lacrosse teams all do battle under the signature inflatable roof of the JMA Wireless Dome. The stadium opened in 1980, with an HVAC company lending its name (but not its air-conditioning units, as many sweaty fans have noticed over the years). Today, the JMA Wireless Dome is the largest domed stadium on any college campus, with a seating capacity for football games of nearly 50,000. In 2018, the university announced it would do away with the bubble roof, replacing it with a fixed roof, parts of which would be translucent.
If you're going to a game, be sure to check out the statue of Syracuse great Ernie Davis, the first black man to win a Heisman Trophy. It's located between the JMA Wireless Dome and the nearby quad. And don't forget to do a Dome Stomp in the channels of the stadium's outer walls. Stand in one of the grooves, jump up and slam your feet on the ground. You'll make your own thunder.
Syracuse Orange Football History
Since its founding in 1889, Syracuse football has racked up more than 700 wins and one consensus national championship (for the 1959 season). More than anything, though, it is best known for the players who've passed through this part of Central New York. Look no further than the guys who've worn Syracuse's No. 44. They include three of the greatest running backs ever to put on cleats: Jim Brown (a lacrosse superstar as well), Ernie "The Elmira Express" Davis and Floyd Little (who broke the rushing records set by Davis and Brown before him).

by Frazer on 2010-09-27Carrier Dome - SyracuseAll administrative details went fine save I was told that I could show up at the Carrier Dome box office at 0830 for my "will call" tickets but on a Saturday the Box office opens at 0900 -instructions should be clearer. Easy access to and egress from the Dome - crowd is enthusiastic but courteous - good family event. Always good to know that the weather will be perfect! I like grabbing a snack on Marshall street after the game. I enjoy dropping down to Syracuse from Ottawa a couple of times a year to see an NCAA football game and have recommended the excursion to many of my neighbours here in Ottawa.
Rating: 4 out of 5 More Fun than the NFL!
by Frazer on 2009-11-01Carrier Dome - SyracuseWe had a good trip to Syracuse from Ottawa the night before - with the Canadian $ at .93 value for money was great stayed at the Candlewood Suites - did some shopping at the Carousel and had spouse drop us off at the Dome -no problem driving right to the event - it was raining but an indoor venue makes this of no concern - good game despite the Orange losing - had a beer and dog -concessions and washrooms easy to use and clean - staff fans well-mannered and friendly -disappointing attendance for the team but it made watching the game easier for us - easy egress from game - walked to Marshall St and had a snack where spouse joined us -again no problem driving there. Will do it again! Might take in a Crunch game at the same time.

by georockgal on 2009-09-07Carrier Dome - SyracuseFirst game of the season, packed stadium, 35 yard line behind the Orangemen, 12 rows up...enough said!! If you get a chance to see a game, DO IT! You won't be disappointed, too bad they lost in OT. It was exciting! Tip: order the $38 level 1 corner tickets online and trade them for an extra $5 each with a scalper (varies with scalper)...we got close to centerline with that transaction, well worth it!!

by Caviar22 on 2009-09-06Carrier Dome - SyracuseThey rocked and rolled. Okay, so they didn't win, but they were playing hard and the new coach will have them turned around by the end of the season!
