The day ended with Syracuse getting an opportunity to welcome fans back to the Loud House for a football event for the first time in 636 days! The new air conditioning was cranking, new lighting and video boards captured fans attention, and the Orange ran through a light practice on the field, focusing mostly on situational football and special teams.
Other News and Notes:
- As a reminder, all fans need to use mobile tickets when accessing the Dome this season. If you have not yet updated your MyCuse account to receive mobile tickets, do so here: Mobile tickets
- Tickets for the 2021 season are on sale now. Visit cuse.com/tickets or call 888-DOME-TIX to purchase. Fans can now purchase season tickets, partial plans and individual game tickets, however the best value for 'Cuse fans to watch the Orange this season remains purchasing a season ticket. For less than $20 per game, fans can get access to every game of a home slate that features Clemson and Liberty – both of which finished in the top-20 of the 2020 AP Poll – matchups with longtime rivals Boston College and Pitt, an old-BIG EAST reunion against Rutgers, Wake Forest and an in-state showdown with UAlbany. This is the first time Syracuse has hosted seven home games since the 2017 season.
