    How long have you been an SU football fan?

    Back in the early '70s, my Dad would take me and my brother to the Navy vs SU games at Archibald (he was a Lieutenant Commander for the Navy). Those were my first memories. Later, in the mid-'70s I was lucky to become a ball boy for the SU football program (my mother worked in the football...

    Outdoor Stadium

    Back when I was ball boy at Archbold in the '70s, I never slid on the mud and land on my back, but I was hit by the SU running back (I believe Joe Morris, but could be wrong) and the two BC defenders on a sweep, where I ended up planted in the mud. The ref was looking for a ball, but they...

    Outdoor Stadium

    I used to be a ball boy for SU back in Archbold during the '70s. On cold, wet, snowy days it SUCKED. Most times the field was a hard mud. Not fun. No, I think I keep my Dome where I'm warm and dry, although I have to admit the A/C now is TOO cold for me.

    First memory of Manley Field House?

    I stand corrected. Must have been another Georgetown player I saw? Thought it was Ewing.

    First memory of Manley Field House?

    Yes we did. Unfortunately, from my seats at Manley, I got my first look at Patrick Ewing. He was a freshman and walked right in front of us. I couldn't believe the size of him. That was the day I got yelled at from a Georgetown cheerleader. She didn't like what I had to say. Haha!!!

    First memory of Manley Field House?

    My first games at Manley were when Roosevelt Bouie and Louis Orr were freshman, 1976 I believe. What made my experience even better, my mother at the time worked in the football department, so she had season tickets. The seats we had in Manley were first row, to the left of the basket. Our feet...

    Now I'm really bummed. It's bad enough I have to miss the game, but now it's a night game. I wanted to go to one more night game this season. Figures!!! :mad: My wife and I will be flying back from Anguilla that Saturday and won't touchdown in SYR until the game is just about over.

    Orange Out !!

    I'll be wearing my orange sweatshirt, as usual. I have to because it's FREEZING inside the Dome now. I'm probably alone on this, but I wish we could go back to the non-A/C days. Oh well.

    Your Best and Worst Dome Memories

    Best: 1987 West Virginia, going undefeated. Close second, 1991 Florida game. Worst: 1994 Oklahoma. The Syracuse go ahead touchdown happened right in front of me. I thought game over, then...well you know.

    Louisville Predictions...

    Syracuse goes down 21 - zip after the first 5 minutes of the game. SU fans are having Lamar Jackson flashbacks, and are angry. Syracuse wakes up, and puts Carlos Del Rio-Wilson in the game. The Orange come back and win the game 28-24. Carlos is named MVP.

    New or Increasing # Season Ticket Holders Check In

    I've been a season ticket holder since the 80's and have renewed for another season. Can't miss hanging out in Sec 129. It's a blast!!! We even bought 4 passes for Club 44 for the Virginia game. Tailgating is a lot of fun too, when the weather cooperates. My wife, who's not a football fan, even...

    AD Dome Survey

    Completed the survey. WAY too long, and as others have mentioned, many redundant questions. Agree, not a good time to be raising prices.

    Goodbye Aluminum seats

    Section 129 have a lot of hardcore fans. Very energized and engaged with the action on the field. It's been a lot fun. My 2-cents.

    Goodbye Aluminum seats

    Good point.

    Goodbye Aluminum seats

    If they're planning on doing the seat renovations this summer, I'm assuming it would be after the Paul McCartney concert, and before Elton John? Hopefully our group in sec. 129 can stay together. :)
