When third-year head coach Doug Marrone and the Orange take the field for their season opener against Wake Forest on Thursday at the Carrier Dome (8 p.m., ESPN3), Syracuse will celebrate its 2010 New Era Pinstripe Bowl Championship. The Championship banner will be unveiled in the Dome and prior to the game fans can see the bowl trophy on the Quad.
For the season-opener, the Quad will be located between Gates M and N. Activities begin at 5 p.m. Pre-game activities for all future games will return to the permanent Quad. The pregame radio broadcast and sponsor tents will be set up throughout the area. The SU marching band is scheduled to perform on the esplanade facing the West Lots of the Dome.
The first 5,000 fans in attendance will also receive a free limited edition replica Pinstripe Bowl Champions banner. During halftime against the Demon Deacons, SU will honor many of its former players in an on-field ceremony.
Syracuse defeated Kansas State 36-34 in the inaugural New Era Pinstripe Bowl at Yankee Stadium last season. The Orange amassed an SU bowl-record 498 yards of total offense against the Wildcats en route to its first bowl game win since 2001 and first winning season since 2004.
Individual and season tickets are available online and at the Carrier Dome Box Office (1-888-DOMETIX). Season tickets start at $99. The SU Kick-off Pack, which includes one ticket to the home-opener against Wake Forest and the BIG EAST opener against Rutgers (Oct. 1, 12:00 p.m., BIG EAST Network), starts at $50.
