Yes, Drumlins West is a not well maintained public golf course just east of Skytop.  It features a couple of huge drumlins that overlook the eastern side of Syracuse.  Great views.  The land is wide open and it would be perfect for a stadium, with a ton of room for parking, tailgating and the additional structures that could help to pay for the stadium (hotels, malls, restaurants, etc.).  Developers were very interested in this in the past.  I think the university could get some help from them, in addition to the government, to help pay for the project.

It is bordered on the south by the abandoned quarry.  I-481 lies on the other side of the quarry.  I-81, I-690 and I-90 are all within a few miles.   The land is solid and would be easy to build on, and there would be no concerns over toxic soil.

I like that it is adjacent to South Campus.  Think there would be a lot more student participation if it were located here.

The Inner Harbor has some positives but like the current location of the Dome, there is already considerable traffic and congestion in the area.  You would never have the open areas and space there that you could at the Drumlins location.  The fact that the university already owns the land is also an important consideration.
