Syracuse Orange at the JMA Wireless Dome

Until the 1980-81 season, the Orange played their home games at Manley Field House, and then moved over to the 33,000-capacity Carrier Dome, which was renamed to the JMA Wireless Dome in 2022. Along with the women’s basketball team, “The Dome” also houses the Syracuse football, men’s basketball and men’s and women’s lacrosse teams. Syracuse is backed by some of the most dedicated fans in college basketball, led by the venue’s student section dubbed Otto’s Army.
