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).
Had a great time at Syracuse University versus Stanford University. Great seats!
We had a great time, even if the The Orange lost by one point (!). The only challenge was that we could not hear the Referees when they made their calls.
Everything inside the Dome was excellent, except for a couple of bad plays. Skytop parking after the game was chaos: extremely long wait for shuttles, people let off shuttles to walk amidst traffic with no clear walking lanes, long lines for exiting lot in car from just a few, squeezed in lanes, resulting in cars going in all directions. Before the game parking was a little better, however, people coming in just to park shouldn't have to navigate cornhole, picnic tables, and drunk people who could have all been put in one corner to save easier to park spaces for the rest of us.
Seats were very nice, could use cup holders, wish the food was cooked by people on site. Something about the madness of food being served added to the atmosphere, plus having freshly prepared food always seems better
The new digs , seats are an improvement over the bench seating although they are a bit hard and restricted for some people Sound system Definitely needs work Over all visually the area looks great !
The new experience was great! New seats, new dome, new video board, new name! 44 years ago my dad helped build the Dome. He must have done a great job for it to last 44 years until the huge upgrade.
from what I can remember I paid like 200 for my ticket cause I thought I was near the field than I look at ticket and I'm at the c section nose bleeds.
First time at Syr football game, Syr bowl eligible with a win, played Wake Forest, but still great atmosphere, pregame outside dome best part, easy to get tickets, parking simple( Skytop) shuttled to game and after. Definitely go again
College football was great to watch at Yankee Stadium. Great seats to see every play on the field
My wife and I had a great time at the game. We met our friend there. Enjoyed listening to the Syracuse band before and at halftime. It was wonderful seeing so many people enjoying football at Yankee Stadium. We love going to the Stadium for football.
