Construction continues at the JMA Wireless Dome on the installation of upgraded chairback seating and the introduction of new premium offerings throughout the venue. The change from bench seating to chairback seating will create a new fan experience, including a new seating map and revised capacities for football, men's and women's basketball, and men's and women's lacrosse games. The new chairbacks will add comfort and accessibility for fans and feature a larger seat width and height. The changes to the seating will result in an adjustment to the number of seats in each row and section throughout the venue. Though the effect on each section will vary, some sections may decrease by up to 200 seats.

To accommodate these new capacities and revised seating maps, each season ticket holder will select a new seat through a coordinated seating process. The reseating process will begin in late summer with suite holders for all JMA Dome events and courtside seats for both men's and women's basketball. All current season ticket holders will have priority for seat selection in 2024-25.

"Syracuse Athletics is committed to presenting timely and transparent information to ensure a smooth transition for our loyal ticket holdes throughout the reseating process," said Cuse Athletics Fund Executive Director Michael Paulus.

The chairback seating that will replace the bench seating throughout the 100, 200 and 300 levels will be installed prior to the 2024 football season. Preparation work for the seating replacement is underway, including ADA improvements, with widening of aisles to 48 inches, replacement of vomitory ramps, construction of new ADA seating platforms and railing replacements. Additionally, life safety improvements include installation of new fire sprinklers, fire alarm system upgrades and the addition of a building-wide smoke evacuation system.

Elements of the JMA Wireless Dome Transformation Project anticipated for the fall of 2023 include 5G capabilities and the Kuhn Game Day Lounge presented by Hidden Level. Enhancements to the JMA Dome began in 2020 with a $118 construction project that included a new roof, lighting and air conditioning.

Vomitory ramps?? There’s some truth to it, but it doesn’t happen THAT often.

It kills for the 300 level to have to wait until 2024 for new seats.

I am in a 300 row that has just 5 seats. I expect that increasing the aisle width and adding seats will make it a 4 seat row.

I am in 309 Row B, two seats in. I am wondering if I should try to grab the two seats on the aisle if they’re available?
