Summer Slam is back!
Hosted by One Orange Alliance and Vinny Lobdell at the Lobdell family barn in Skaneateles, a marquee event of the Syracuse men's basketball offseason returns for its second year. The evening will celebrate Syracuse basketball, NIL and the next era of Orange greatness.
This one-night-only event will bring Syracuse greats and Orange supporters together for an exclusive experience that will kick off the McNamERA. Tickets and sponsorship packages are available now for the July 22 event that you won't want to miss.
Summer Slam will provide Orange Nation a first look at the Syracuse basketball team and will feature an on-court conversation with a pair of 'Cuse legends – new head coach Gerry McNamara and Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Famer Carmelo Anthony. It will serve as a first opportunity to meet members of the 2026-27 roster and watch them go through exciting competitions including a dunk contest and 3-point shootout. Other Syracuse head coaches are expected to attend.
It will also feature great food and an open bar, a live and silent auction and a fireworks finale while supporting NIL opportunities for the student-athletes in partnership with One Orange Alliance.
Summer Slam tickets are available here: 2026 Summer Slam Tickets. There are also sponsorship packages available here: Summer Slam Sponsorships. For more information, please contact us at syracusenil@syr.edu .
This event is an exclusive opportunity to support One Orange Alliance.
