Syracuse Athletics and Progressive Insurance®, through an agreement with Learfield, have announced a new sponsorship that will place Progressive's logo on the field at the JMA Wireless Dome beginning this upcoming season.
"Progressive's investment in Syracuse Athletics reflects the momentum and visibility that Syracuse University, our athletic department and football program have in the national landscape of college athletics," said Director of Athletics Bryan B. Blair. "We're thrilled to be part of Progressive's impactful sponsorship as we take advantage of additional revenue opportunities that provide important resources to our teams and student-athletes."
In addition to the on-field branding for Progressive - which will be displayed on the sideline of the JMA Wireless Dome between the goal lines and 20-yard lines - there will be in-game videoboard elements, in-venue LED signage and digital and social media integrations, beginning at Syracuse's season opener on Sept. 5 vs. New Hampshire.
"College football is about more than what happens on game day – it reflects the pride, tradition and community that defines Syracuse and we're proud to support the student-athletes, alumni and fans who help make this program so special," said Sean Freeman, Media Business Leader at Progressive. "We're thrilled to have the opportunity to be a part of game days with this historic fanbase."
Syracuse is one of 13 institutions nationwide to take part in this initiative, including Colorado, Georgia, Iowa, Ole Miss, Oregon, Purdue, Texas Tech, and USC.
'Cuse hosts an exciting home slate this season, with all five FBS opponents entering the season having received votes in the Associated Press Top 25 poll, including three ranked squads.
The Orange return quarterback Steve Angeli – who was leading the nation in passing last season before suffering a season-ending injury – and a host of other players on national preseason watch lists, including Preseason All-American Chris Peal, Freshman All-American Antoine Deslauriers and more. Head Coach Fran Brown also bolstered the roster with the highest-ranked recruiting class in program history and a talented transfer class.
