Dome Renovation

[OrangeXtreme]

Any idea where the home games will be played? I may have to skip My seasons tics next year as it is 2+ hours to get to Syracuse as it is now.

Buffalo or Cornell would be a good guess. We're already booked into the Meadowlands for Notre Dame.

:bang:

Ugh, I guess I'd rather have it be Cornell. No to Buffalo

Lots of fuzzy info floating around right now. I'm hearing basketball won't be affected, but football will. Also hearing that the FB season to be affected is 2017, not next year.

I don't know how we lose a FB season, but not affecting hoops.

I've heard so many different scenarios that I don't know what to believe. Just have to wait to see how it works out.

Ithaca College.

Trying to remember 1979. Two games at Cornell, two in Buffalo, and two in the Meadowlands?

Edit: 1 at Cornell, 2 in Buffalo, 2 in NJ.

Do we tell the new football coach in advance, or do we let him find out the hard way?

I agree. I have heard so many different scenarios and time frames that all we can really do is wait and see.

2 in Buffalo (Miami and Wash St)
2 in NJ (PSU and WV)
Only 1 at Cornell (BC)

I'm for Fort Drum myself

I bet FSU will be at MetLife or Yankee Stadium

I'd definitely play Colgate at Cornell on 9/3 and look at USF there two weeks later. I'd play Pitt at Buffalo. FSU at MetLife or Yankee Stadium, NCSt at Buffalo or Yankee Stadium. Louisville at Buffalo. Notre Dame at MetLife.

I'd knew you would say that... Remember we have a close away game in Hartford...in 79 the games drew diddley in Buffalo.

Great idea! They just renovated their football stadium a couple years ago. New field turf and stands. Brilliant!

 

[CuseLegacy]

Hmmm.. I thought they weren't meeting until the end of November.

Let's go international... Ottawa!

On our non-existant football field? Haha

As bad as attendance has been, the people that should get screwed the least are the diehards that go now. Most of those are locals. Buffalo is a lot easier and closer than jersey or NYC. They can have Colgate.

Field is 110 yards long! More room to punt I guess

Play indoors at Walker. Arena football!

Remember the original numbers--

Total cost of the Dome: $26.85M.
Carrier Corp Naming gift: 2.75M
NYState Share: 15.00M
Leaving 9.1M as the SU share.

So, the precedent for the state being heavily involved is there.

The trade-off might be that more non-SU events would have to be scheduled. Which leads back to the transportation/parking problem for crowds who are not Dome regulars. I expect the people-moving part of the project to get major attention. (All of this assuming the leaks have it right).

Wow, crazy the Dome only cost $26.85 million. And even crazier that NYS contributed 56% of the cost.
