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! Logistics were good, the new and improved Dome was good, but the wireless service sucked!! You would think that a place name “JMA Wireless“ would have better service!!
Great energy in the Dome…very loud and spirited…Great experience!
I got covid and couldnt go. But they won the game and it was really loud at home when I was watching it. I imagine it was electric there.
Great collegial environment. The Syracuse Orange are playing good ball! The JMA Wireless Dome is an enjoyable stadium in which to watch a game!
3rd level seats (sec 336), Row O. Thought they'd be too high but great seats for watching a football game. Syracuse fans were loud and proud!
Quad full of people pre-game, tailgates everywhere - building full and loud!
The atmosphere was just so electric and gratifying this is all that you can ask for and more at a college football game!!!
The game was fantastic, entrance was quick and easy using my phone, BUT the concessions are way overpriced and the concession food quality was mediocre, overall I will go again but eat before I go.
Had a great time. Will definitely be flogging back soon.
The craziest, wildest, best college football game I ever attended (and I was at the game when Nebraska played Syracuse as the best college team ever and we all know how Cuse kicked their butt). Saturday's game had everything from 42 4th quarter points, blocked kick returns, bad officiating, last second must have winning touchdown by Cuse. That game was a rollercoaster ride in the 4th quarter.
We were in section 211, great view of the game/field. Sound was not so great, could not make out what the announcers were saying - poor acoustics. Not sure if speakers were on under the concourse but wouldn’t buy tickets again under a concourse.
Great game at a very nice stadium but don’t use the Skytop parking.
Overall had a great time, Tickets arrived on time, online experience was efficient and easy Parking and shuttles were great Game experience was first rate, I will definitely go again. Only complaint was the venue (done). Was MUCH to loud.
Went to the game as an opposing fan, and had a fantastic time (even though my team lost) Fans and staff alike were very kind, restrooms were clean, highly recommend visiting the Dome.
No problem getting into the game I was a little worried about using paperless tickets. I would do do it again
What an amazing experience. The Dome was rocking. Great venue. Great fans. Can’t wait to go back. Syracuse University experience first class.
What a game! It will be hard to ever see another football game that well played or exciting
I was extremely happy about the service there. The service getting in was excellent. It was a great experience. I am looking forward to going to another game.
For a gorgeous Saturday in September watching football in a half empty dome was just plain sterile. It’s no wonder they have a small fan base
Awesome seats , great game, atmosphere was exceptional.
