The Syracuse men's lacrosse team has played twice on this date during the past 25 years. The Orange is a perfect 2-0 in those games.
SU first played in the Dome on this date in 1985, hosting Central New York foe, Cornell. Syracuse outscored the Big Red, 5-0, in the second quarter to take a 7-2 halftime lead. The Orange withstood a third-quarter comeback by Cornell and recorded a 12-10 victory. Brad Kotz led SU with four goals, while Tom Korie had three goals and two assists.
In 1991, Syracuse extended its winning streak with a 22-8 win against Hobart. The Orange used a 10-0 scoring run that started 7:27 into the second quarter and lasted through the third quarter to take control of the game. Jamie Archer scored a team-high four goals and dished out three assists, and Tom Marechek added three goals and an assist.
In addition to SU men's lacrosse action, the Dome hosted the Boy Power Dinner in both 1988 and 1994.
More than 23.5 million people have passed through the revolving doors of the Carrier Dome since the building’s first public event on September 20, 1980. Throughout the 2005-06 SU athletics seasons the University will celebrate the first 25 years of the Loud House.
In the first 25 years of the Dome, more than 1,740 events were staged, including collegiate, professional and high school athletics events, University commencement, concerts, a circus, and community events. These activities are chronicled in the more than 100 photographs that are currently in the concourse of the Dome. Fans who attend events in the Dome can re-live the memories with these photos.
