OT - Syracuse Desktop Background

[Orangepace]

Does anyone have a cool desktop background? I want to put one on my work computer, but every one I have found on the web frankly sucks (google search). We have some creative types here, so thought I'd see if anyone has one they'd be willing to share. Looking to fit resolution of 1920 x 1080. Lawrinson14 jekelish

A kicker for those that open... when searching the web I stumbled on this from 2014..

That's a great pic, but I think I would have a seizure looking at that 100 times per day.

I'm a fan of any list that ranks the Dome #1, but I have to question the validity of this seeing that it has the MCI Center (which it hasn't been called since 2007) ahead of Allen Fieldhouse.

Much appreciated. Lot going on in that one. I live in VA, so was hoping someone might have a high def Dome background. I tried blowing up Dome photos I found online, but they get so grainy that my pompous self couldn't use them.

You're just looking for the Dome? Interior or exterior?

I see someone else has been to the Melo Center since the re-mods too.

You can filter for pics larger than a certain size if you use Google Image's 'search tools' function. Not trying to insult anybody or anything, just not sure if you knew.

I've been to both the Verizon Center (live in DC) and Allen Fieldhouse. If the ranking is based on gameday atmosphere for a college game, Allen wins, but if we're rating the venue (with all else being equal), I would rate the Verizon Center above Allen without deliberation. Unless Cuse is in town though, the Verizon Center never seems to fill up for Georgetown games.

I wish though that more stadiums were designed like the Carrier Dome. The uppers may be a bit steep, but the proximity to the floor/field, of the fan experience, is probably the best of any venue I've ever visited. If/when SU builds a new venue, proximity of the stands to the field and the V-shape model is the one most important feature, to me, that they must maintain. New stadiums are nice, but for venues that support football and basketball, I feel like the U-Shape grossly diminishes the experience of the fan.

Nationals park has a steeper incline at the upper levels and it's probably the second best ballpark I've visited (I've visited 19 active baseball ballparks). My favorite park of all, AT&T Park, is even steeper.

I definitely did not know that. Thanks a million kind sir.

That first one is great! Thanks!

Unfortunately didn't make the game of the second link. So on principle, I can't bring myself to use it. Solid photo though.

Would be cool if our resident experts at photoshop would create a cool one, but I'm not picky.

Open to both. Love exterior night time photo someone posted above (since it's for the computer desktop of course), but didn't know if our creative group had anything unique, or wanted to create anything.

I used this one for a while..until the NCAA cast a shadow over the JB win total.

Edit...I believe it's a Lawrinson creation.

That's pretty special. Now that's creative! Maybe put an asterisk next to 900? Lol.

If I could paste that image to the inside of my eyelids I would, just so I could see it for a split second every time I blink.

Ok that's the greatest thing ever. I'd love a less sport specific one without boeheim and the 900.

I'm not all that good in Photoshop, but I like to mess around and make my own backgrounds, so I made this one:

As you might be able to tell, it's simply my avatar with CJ taken out of it.
