2024 Seating Changes

[0.2 YNdeeR]

This is going to be the biggest single change to the appearance of the dome ever.

All that grey concrete and silver benching getting replaced almost completely with dark blue is going to fundamentally change the character of the building.

The dome is going to look fancy. We are moving on up to the East Side!

Will look amazing.

It also allows you to use more orange around the building without it being TOO orange. Perfect accent.

28 seats across.

Used to be 34 across.

Makes sense why you don't paint the concrete that you really won't ever see

Yep. Was curious if it would be come invisible, and it does.

Inflation. It is everywhere.

Yeah people will surely notice when you're first into the row or its not as crowded, you'll see it in your aisle, but honestly no big deal at that point.

I do wonder about the stairs and if they'' touch up/paint any of that... not a big deal either but could give a refreshed look

 

[TexanMark]

They should include some orange seats to spell out “Syracuse” “Orange” or something along those lines. Similar to this;View attachment 240874

That was suggested

It wasn't acted on

Especially on people's butts since 1980

That is when I was conceived, not sure what to make of this..

Orange painted stairs would look really sharp between each section of blue seats.

Hmmm

That's too much. Look at Miami for basketball. The red aisles look awful

 

[OburgOrange]

We won’t paint them red. They will be Orange.

 

[JRHEETER]

We won’t paint them red. They will be Orange.

If we did it and we wont

I bet they would use vinyl and not paint it

 

[Chris02M]

That looks like my section!

nobody has sections at this time

 

[sutomcat]

The twists and turns these threads take are quite impressive. Like a road over the Rockies.

So just checked my last email with my rep about my donation from a month ago not showing up yet, and he said the final update would be May 8. Ok. It is nighttime on May 8 and it is not updated. If it does not update before I get a time slot, I am going to tell them they need to refund my latest $500 donation.

Time slots come out on Monday May 13.

They've got 48 hours to get their heads out (assuming that nobody works weekends).

This donation was made a month ago. They did 2 updates that did not include it, and they confirm they have it. Welcome to the 1800s.

I think we can take Harvard and Yale this year...

It is puzzling that in 2024 they don't have systems that can actually talk to each other. Even systems that don't talk how hard is it to set up an integration that runs at least nightly.

I guess being a one off they didn't want to waste the effort, but you almost think the amount of time spent on dealing with questions would be more cost than building a pretty simple update routine.

Then add in a couple false starts because the spread sheets were wrong.

Well, SU does seem to have a habit of false starts in the pat "few" years. I'm leaning towards ACC refs being in charge of this whole donation thing.

The last two updates were 4-12 and 4-26, correct? So my guess is 5-10 for the next.

Obviously this is a manual process. Which opens up the possibility for human error. SU is playing with fire by leaving little time for adjustments.

Systems? They don't have schools that actually talk to each other. It is the most siloed environment I have ever seen. I don't know how they get anything done.
