'Cuse on the Quad and the Toyota Fun Zone return for the 2025 season, the prime location for Orange fans to get ready for kickoff each game day.
Located in close proximity to the JMA Wireless Dome on the Syracuse University Quad, there are pregame activities for fans of all ages to enjoy, beginning three hours prior to kickoff.
The NYE Auto Quad Walk enters its second season after Head Coach Fran Brown instituted the pregame walk in 2024. Orange players, coaches and staff will be dropped off near Hendricks Chapel and follow the below route. The Pride of the Orange, Syracuse's marching band, will perform and fans are encouraged to line the route to cheer on the team as they make their way to the Dome. Fans are encouraged to arrive early and grab their spot on the route, the walk will be approximately 2:15 prior to kickoff each week.
There will be a bevvy of entertainment options at each game. The Orange Pregame Show presented by Learfield will broadcast from the Quad, plus the marching band, will return after the quad walk for a full performance on the Hendrick's Chapel steps 90 minutes prior to kickoff. 'Cuse spirit squads will also be in attendance, as well as student-athletes from other teams, for fans to meet and interact with.
There are plenty of food and beverage options to choose from prior to kickoff. Food trucks from popular local restaurants will be on hand each week. Plus, additional food and both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drink options available for purchase.
New for 2025, Syracuse Athletics' premium hospitality area will move to a newly enhanced portion of the Dome, right outside Miron Victory Court. This location, which will have prime viewing at the end of the Quad walk, will also provide food and two alcoholic beverages per person (of legal consumption age). Limited inventory remains, so purchase yours today here: Pregame Hospitality.
The Otto's Kids Club Zone is the place to bring your young Orange fans on the quad. They'll have a chance to make a poster, get their face painted by the dance team or even take a photo with Otto!
Other areas on the quad include sponsorship activations, merchandise tents, the 'Cuse Uniform Showcase, where fans can take photos with mannequins in that game's uniform look and additional activities on a game-by-game basis.
