Camp Notebook: Week 4
8/28/2022 10:02:00 AM | Football
It's officially game week for Syracuse football.
The Orange wrapped up their training camp with three-straight practices in the JMA Wireless Dome from Friday-Sunday. While preparations for the season have been underway for a long while, attention will now turn solely to Saturday's 8 p.m. season opener vs. Louisville in the Loud House.
'Cuse opens up the season on Sept. 3 in the JMA Wireless Dome. Tickets for the Orange's much-anticipated home schedule are now on sale! Season tickets – which start at just $99 – are the best value for Syracuse fans. Visit Cuse.com/Tickets or call 888-DOME-TIX to be part of the action. Group tickets and partial plans are also on sale, visit Cuse.com/Groups or Cuse.com/Tickets for more information.
The Orange spent this last week continuing to lock in for the season, but there were still some noteworthy items this week, including signing one more player in partnership with Team IMPACT, another All-America honor for Sean Tucker was handed out, plus some more Watch List accolades for a trio of 'Cuse stars.
