Thanks for allowing me in ...also sorry about the denied requests. That's a little unusual, normally see a decent number of visting fans posting over there.
Again, looks like there is some good local information coming from"Raleigh area" Syracuse folks, so they will have some suggestions...
There is really only one establishment near the stadium, Backyard Bistro. I believe it was mentioned earlier in this thread. It's a pretty large sports bar right across the street and the food is respectable. (formerly a Damon's - if you are familiar with those). Very convenient. The stadium (and arena) are located near the fairgrounds and somewhat away from the campus and main commercial drag. Although you would need to drive, some other places that might be of interest are Player's Retreat (longtime tavern across from campus), Mitch's (another oldtime 'dive'), Sammy's Tap and Grill,  and Amedeo's. Woody's Sports Tavern in Cary is not a far drive either. I'm not suggesting any of these will be great gourmet experiences - but they're good hangouts of the sports bar/tavern variety. Most of what happens out by the stadium is the standard tailgating stuff.
