The Dome has hosted three events on this date. In 1987, the Rescue Mission held its annual dinner with 1,756 guests in the Dome. The Syracuse City Schools conducted its Fun Run on this date in 1993. A year ago, the NACUH Conference had its Roll Call.
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.
