The Carrier Dome is one of the premiere concert venues in Central New York. Neil Diamond performed in front of 30,492 fans in the Dome on this date in 1993. The Dome has hosted concerts by several musical artists, including Garth Brooks, Billy Joel, Elton John, Bruce Springsteen, the Rolling Stones and U2.
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.
