2024 Seating Changes

[wiseman3]

IIRC, it wasn't supposed to done by the season. Completion date was like November.

"Sala said the school wants to complete construction on Bob Miron Victory Court, which will serve as a connector between Archbold Gymnasium and the JMA Dome, ahead of the 2024 football season"

I also found a quote from Sala saying that he thinks work would be happening through Game 1. Obviously that's not the case anymore

No internal renderings were released.

Just the outside renderings with the updated permit application with city.

Idk when that quote was but he did an interview during the Spring game that said November.

Right, but that wasn't the initial plan. The construction has been in progress for a while

they must have some unknown issues to get delayed on what looks like a pretty simple build

20,20,20,20 four hours to goooooo , I wanna be sedated……… Hey that would make a great punk song !!!!

Meh, it's a little clunky. Maybe take out one of the 20s. It's subtle but I think it will make a big difference.

Being in the construction management field (and you may have that background as well!), I will say, everything is typically more complex and difficult then what meets the eye. Especially with tying into existing buildings etc. but, to the eye - compared to some of the massive projects going on (like lally) I agree it seems to be in a hold up stage of sorts due to something. I’m sure they will make tremendous progress in July and August.

I usually get 3 tickets and my brother gets 5. We have had 5 in one row and 3 behind us since the late 90s. We want a similar situation. My brother is looking now...I can't until later today. He is saying that they are not giving him a choice online and seats will be selected for him ??? My understanding is he should see a map that shows available seats. Sounds like he is not seeing that. Any advice? I get to look at around 4 today so I want to be ready. Obviously, being this late, I am not a big donor etc. but have had my season tickets since '92. I know that carries no weight but I also don't want to have seats selected for me.

I have not heard of this. if you dont pick when your time opens it just waits

The seats are not selected for you

Once the time slot opens up you can go in and select seats.

If he has all 8 seats in his account he will need to call a ticket rep to put them into 5/3 in different rows as the program they are using doesn’t have the ability to split the set of seats up

I would have thought the bigger issue would have been the driving of the pilings, perhaps the entry into the dome cutouts, or as you said the attachment at the roof level. not of it would me specialized equipment to delay that. Looks like the floor had been prepped in some pictures as well.

Thanks. With the help of a rep, he was able to get his seats. User error on his part.

Surprising that seating software cant divvy up seats, but then TM does strange things all the time

Awesome glad to hear


Most of the reps have been exceptional thru this process

If you have 8 seats, instead of selecting "QTY 8", has anyone tried selecting "QTY 4", adding 4 seats to the cart, then repeating for the other 4 seats one row farther back?

 

[NJneer12]

When was that quote you posted? share a link?

I'm trying to get a timeline down to pinpoint these possible issues. (slow day lol)

It makes me wonder what the system would if you chose seats on either side of an aisle

 

[SUFaninNJ]

All red lots are now full. No West, No VA Garage, nothing. Oh, and my "helpful" rep suggested I get a seat in section 101 since my seat was taken by students and there's nothing comparable available in the opposite endzone.

 

[upperdeck]

All the worry on reseating and the parking lot issue turned into a disaster for many that no one really saw coming.

 

[SUFaninNJ]

I found a ticket on the aisle a few rows back and selected that, only to be told that I couldn't have that available ticket. When I asked why, he said that they don't sell single seats on the aisle. I said, "So, I'm being penalized because I'm only buying one seat?" He didn't say yes in so many words, but that was pretty much the vibe. Why he thought I'd jump at the chance to go from paying $150 a ticket to $725 is beyond me. "I'm sorry, we don't have anymore Ford Fiesta's available. Perhaps you'd be interested in this Escalade." Not the most customer friendly experience I've ever had. If it wasn't for the prospect of seeing what this new staff brings to the table in the fall, I might have just asked for a refund and stayed home. If next year doesn't open up a preferable seat or better parking opportunities, I will.

The historical building they just gutted and renovated?

They didn’t gut it. Redoing offices and some internal spaces is allowed for historical buildings. The only exterior work was the rebuild of the back section which burned many years ago. You won’t see it attached to Miron.

I use that stuff on my ripped truck tonneau covers.. It works!

Yes, that's what I did. I had to put 4 aisle seats in my cart, then select the 4 aisle seats behind the original 4 and add those to my cart separately. Otherwise it wanted me to pick 8 in a row. But it did take me a minute to figure out how to do that.

I thought I would have no issues on Friday renewing my 4 seats in 315 Row I so I wasn't sweating the process at all. Then I got on and the whole section of 315 was blocked out. No advance notice was provided that this section wouldn't be sold so I kind of panicked. I was definitely thrown for a loop.

I have sat there for 15+ years and love my "football friends" in that section. Immediately texted some people from my section (who I had numbers for) and was unable to connect with them prior to making my new selection. After the fact, I found out 2 groups had moved elsewhere and 1 group had yet to select so they will try to follow me into my new corner section of 322.

I found myself very angry that my whole section would all be split up after so many years together. While these people haven't been friends in the normal sense, they know more about my passion for SU sports than most and I renewed the same seats to be with them year after year.

I know all of this had to be done, I'm just a little miffed that I didn't know in advance so other plans could have been made. At least I got parking in UNVN so I guess I should be happy with that piece.

Anyway, I'll get over it but still have a bad taste in my mouth about the lack of notification.

Onward and upward, a new start for the program and for all of us fanatics who follow them through the good and bad.

P.S. If you're loud and proud of Syracuse football, come to 322

I would say redoing the inside and having new offices/spaces is a gut. Inside looked like all new finish.

They also added like 10,000 sf of space. Thats cool but connecting a roof is in violation of NHPA? I believe all sections of the building were over 50 years old.

I know part of that project included some stormwater stuff. I wonder if they calculated the MVC project/area into it in anticipation.
