This Day in Dome History: June 4
6/4/2006 3:20:49 PM | Dome 25
During the past 25 years, the Carrier Dome has hosted just one event on this date. In 1988, Syracuse University hosted the Kumbak Dinner in the Dome on this date. The event was a reunion dinner that was held in the Dome from 1987-91.
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.
