Message: [QUOTE="orangecuse, post: 921701, member: 668"] Well, maybe so, but no comparison really imo. Syracuse was a local/regional program back then, playing the likes of St. Bonaventure, etc. in the ECAC game of week. The Dome just so happened to built at the perfect time. The advent of cable TV and ESPN (along with the Dome) launched SU's program into the stratosphere and became a national program. The Dome may be in need of some necessary improvements, but it certainly doesn't need to be replaced. It's recognized, not only nationally as an iconic structure, but internationally as well. No way a new stadium has anything close to the impact the Dome did, and still does as this past weekend attests. IMO, it's clearly unique and we should embrace and ride all that that entails for as long as we can. [/QUOTE]
