As long as it's "on-campus" and a viable plan for the Dome is part of the campus master plan (giant research center?), I'm all ears on this. I Don't expect it to happen b/c of the cost of re-building from scratch ... supposedly $500M at least, and SU has previously said it would require public funding and isn't an option.

[B]A new bubble and some improvements to the lighting and sound systems would cost the school about $25 million. The school priced a brand-new off-campus arena at hundreds of millions, deeming the expense too costly without public support, [URL='http://www.syracuse.com/orangesports/index.ssf/2015/02/syracuse_hires_consultant_to_look_at_carrier_dome_roof_options_according_to_repo.html']Syverud said in February 2015[/URL].

If this remains true, SU's facing Scylla and Charybdis: 1) too expensive to build new without massive state support and concurrent loss of control and off-campus siting; or 2) gut the Dome and eat construction dust for 2-3 years while FB and BB become vagabonds.
