A literal conversation that just happened at my house when the kids got home from school…Watched the penalties with my wife, who’s from Indiana… I’ve been celebrating quietly ever since as not to wake up my kids! Unreal, I’m still shook by the pen off the crossbar snuck in… absolutely wild & loving it. Enough with that excessive Indiana hyperbole.
9 year old son: “Dad, the new Diary of a Wimpy kid book is available on Libby & I just downloaded it! Let’s goooooo!!!”
Me: “Let’s gooooooo!!!”
6 year old daughter: “Dad, that’s what you say when you watch Liverpool!” (English Premier League team, not CNY town)
Me: “Yeah, and when Syracuse wins the national championship in soccer!”
6 year old daughter: “I heard you making noises watching the game last night when I was in bed…”
Maybe I wasn’t celebrating as quite as quietly as I stated last night after the win, haha

There's no way Duke is #3.
I'm surprised they weren't #1

Great job SU Athletics for opening the building for the fans so they didn't have to wait outside in the cold. Awesome job!

I always record games for at least 3 hours after they're supposed to end. The 6OT MSG Big East game vs. UConn taught me that. It's better to delete than miss something big!

When I was at SU in the 80s, the soccer team played a lot of games in the Dome (I think field hockey did too for that matter). I'm guessing they don't now because of the field turf, it seems the pebbles would slow down the ball. Any soccer insiders know why they don't play games in the Dome? If it's not because of the field turf, it seems it might be good for bad weather games at the end of the year including the ACCT and NCAAs.

Top flight players want to play on grass in college.
That is one issue, and it is a big one.
Secondly, the dome is not wide enough for a regulation field. It is possible to play on a field narrower than regulation and yes, Syracuse did this for years playing in the dome.
But it isn't what you want and the presence of walls close to the OB lines is not a good thing.
At this point, we have a soccer stadium and the field itself is one of the top playing fields in the ACC. A fan base has been built, sellouts are happening regularly, and it is time to expand seating. A new scoreboard with video replay capabilities is also needed. I think there is room to add stands on the east side of the field.
At minimum, it would be great to see another set of bleachers added to boost the seating capacity from about 1500 to around 3000. That should have improve the home field advantage and make the facility a lot more attractive for fans and players. Pretty sure we have the worst soccer facility in the ACC. The coaching staff and players (and fans) deserve better.
If you are a decision maker for a major corporation and want to make a difference, this is a great chance to step up and make a donation to help make this happen.
Better concessions and bathroom facilities would be great; maybe add a set on the east side of the stadium. And let's get a band for all the home games (and select road games). That was something Indiana did that we should copy. I think it adds a lot to the atmosphere (which is already good).
This is what our some of our competitors in the ACC have:

Some info on the origins of the iconic Syracuse soccer jersey.

U.S. Soccer needs an identity, and the Waldo jersey is the answer
The US has lacked a traditional jersey for long enough. It’s time to pick one, and we know the best choice.

Makes what McIntyre has done even more incredible. Some schools have MLS quality soccer stadiums and we look like a D3 school. Elmore Field at Hartwick is objectively nicer than what Syracuse has.
We have to take the next step.
