Future of SU Athletics Migrating Down East Colvin Street? (sujuiceonline.com; Bierman)
Late last month, still relatively new Syracuse chancellor Kent Syverud said in an interview that the university has two years to decide what to do about the aging Carrier Dome roof, last replaced in 1999-2000.
Construction of the new indoor football practice facility is underway at the sprawling Lampe Athletics Complex. The building rising on the site is slated to open in Dec.
Should the air-supported Teflon structure be upgraded at a cost of some $25 million dollars, or should the air-supported model, popular in the 1980s with the since-closed Silverdome, Metrodome, and Hoosier Dome joining the Carrier Dome which made its debut in Sept. 1980, be replaced by new retractable roof technology, or even a permanent roof supported structurally within the original building configuration?
The third option Syverud mentioned following a report he received from a school advisory group as to what SU would be forced to do logistically if the Dome roof were to fail, was to build, or partner with the building of a brand new off-site venue, with the obvious questions of where it would sit, who would pay for it, who would operate it, which men’s/women’s programs would call it home, and how a change of location just off the Quad from where football games have been played for over 100 years, and basketball/lacrosse for nearly 35 seasons, would affect the biggest stakeholders to Syverud, the students.

World Cup Final Four Now Set: Netherlands, Argentina, Brazil and Germany (PS; Walsh)
It's not every day you see a manager replace a goalkeeper just before an overtime game goes to penalty kicks. But that's exactly what Netherlands manager Louis van Gaal did Saturday.
Substitute goalkeeper Tim Krul came on to do one job, and he did it. Krul stopped two Costa Rica penalty kicks in overtime to send Cinderella home without her slipper as the Netherlands won 4-3 on penalty kicks after a scoreless 120 minutes.

Stanley Cup Comes to Ithaca, Home of LA Kings' Captain Dustin Brown (PS; Kramer)
Los Angeles Kings captain Dustin Brown brought the Stanley Cup to his hometown of Ithaca on Saturday for the second time in three seasons.
A crowd gathered for a chance to get a look at and a picture of the trophy, with the $5 donation fee going to local causes.
NHL tradition calls for all the players on the championship team to get a day with the Cup in their hometown. The Cup travel schedule is primarily arranged on seniority, which puts Brown, a 10-year-vet with the Kings, at the front of the line for picking his date.
