NEW DOME SEATING / AMBIANCE

[BillSU]

Just got to see the trailer of the new Dome seating. It’s, IMO, gorgeous. All blue chairs and a slice of orange about ten rows deep at the SU 50 yard line. Tried to find it online today but it has disappeared from Thursday’s articles for football. If you have not seen it –it is worth a search.

The ambiance of the total experience is amazing, first class installation and now we look amazing.

To me, the overall appearance of the interior is now a space conducive to Football, Basketball and all SU sports. An upbeat atmosphere fostering growth, well-being, and a healthy environment. A positive space with Syracuse Football color written all over it.

I saw from twitter that the new student convocation was in the Dome the other day. Anyone go and sit in the new seats? Very curious about leg room in the rows

Snuck into the upper deck during a lax game. Leg room is no worse than before. In fact, with the seat backs preventing the guy in front of you from leaning back, it may even be better.

The 200s had solid legroom, the 100s seemed more spacious than I would've thought.

Anyone with an orange seat gets a little padding for their padding.

Agree with this. And the fact that the seats push back when you get up creates more room for folks to walk back when you stand up.

And the guy behind you doesn't get to kick you in the butt for 4 hours (or whatever part of that 4 hours you're not standing).

Not if we score on long runs everytime we get the ball and force a ton of incompletions once teams are behind and throwing every down. Lequint Allen, 40 ypc!

Not to get away from the in-seat passive-aggressive warfare…but to maybe address Bill’s original point.

On video at least, this reno looks gorgeous

Hard to believe this is the same building I squeezed into in 1980.

Agree. And the padded cushioned seats were like rocking chairs always hitting your legs.

Not with these 5 minute commercial interruptions.

Did anyone ever believe that first night against Miami of Ohio, the sweatbox of a game that the Dome would become this?

This one is cool too...

I feel like it's going to be a little surreal walking into the Dome on Saturday, kind of like the first time I walked in after the roof renovation. The videos I've seen of the Dome with the blue seating makes it looks almost like a video game rendering.
