Dome Enhancements Await Orange Fans on Saturday
8/29/2024 12:00:00 PM | Football
It's finally game week for the Syracuse football team, which will open its 2024 season on Saturday against Ohio for the debut of the Fran Brown era.
It'll also be a debut of new amenities in the JMA Wireless Dome. Headlined by new chairback seating throughout the venue, the Dome has continued a multi-year renovation process that has added a new fixed roof, new lighting, a center-hung video board and air conditioning, among other upgrades.
Those visiting the Dome for the first time will notice a number of changes in addition to the seats. Individual seating sections will no longer split across the aisle. Fans looking for their seats for the opener can utilize new signage at the top of each section or touch-screen map stations in the concourse, or these maps to find their seats.
CONCESSIONS:
There are also new concession items available this fall. Returning this Fall, the 100-level concourse will feature two revamped cocktail stands. These cocktails stand are located close to the 50-yard line in the 100 level. A new Family Friendly Meal Deal is the perfect addition to feed your group – it features four hot dogs, four beverages (soda or water) and two popcorn boxes for just $44, a 13-percent discount that families can take advantage of. The meal deal is available at six different locations in the stadium (the Tomato Wheel and Dome Dog locations in the 100-level and both 50-yard line concession stands in the upper concourse). There will be no price increase for the third-straight season to Dome staples such as hot dogs and popcorn, plus fans will see the return of the J&J SuperPretzel.
NAVIGATION ENHANCEMENTS:
An upgraded navigation option is available to get to the Dome. Syracuse University will utilize the Waze app to provide traffic updates on the routes around the venue. Fans are encouraged to download the app and use it to provide the quickest route to their parking lots in real time.
Don't forget to make your way to the Quad for the NYE Auto Quad Walk. An important addition to game day, Head Coach Fran Brown and the Orange will arrive two hours and 15 minutes prior to each game and make their way across the quad in front of Hendricks Chapel before entering the Dome. For fans with parking in the Lally or Skytop lots, a limited bus service will begin three hours prior to kickoff to get you to the quad, with the full fleet service beginning two hours before kick.
Fans utilizing ride share apps to visit the Dome, there will be a designated drop off and pickup location at the Newhouse Circle, which can be accessed at the corner of Waverly Ave. and Crouse Dr.
STUDENTS:
For students, the relocation of the Hidden Level Student Section to the end zone will provide a greater opportunity to impact the game. As part of that, Syracuse Athletics will have student giveaways for every game this fall.
IN-GAME:
Make sure you download the 'Cuse app to be part of interactive fan opportunities. The light shows prior to the team entrance and between the third and fourth quarter provide ways for fans to involve themselves in the action.

STADIUM POLICY REMINDERS:
A reminder to everyone who visits the JMA Dome, the facility is a cashless venue at all points of sale, including the box office, concessions and merchandise stands.
