In a little more than two weeks, fans will have the opportunity to preview new head coach Dino Babers' squad when the Orange wraps up spring practice with the 2016 Syracuse Football Spring Scrimmage on Saturday, April 2 at the Carrier Dome. The event features something for everyone, including a field-goal kicking contest, selfie stations, and a free youth clinic, in addition to the team's live scrimmage.
Gates open at 10 a.m. and admission is free. All fans who enter the building receive a concession voucher for a free hot dog and soda. The scrimmage starts at 11 a.m. with the offense squaring off against the defense from a variety of spots on the field. After the scrimmage, fans will be invited onto the Carrier Dome turf for pictures and selfies with their favorite Orange players and coaches.
The post-scrimmage festivities include a special treat for kids in eighth grade or younger. They are invited to join a group of Syracuse football alumni on the field for a free skills clinic. Organized by former receiver Donte Davis, the clinic features several past Orange greats as instructors. Arizona Cardinals Pro Bowler Chandler Jones is expected to attend. So are New York Giants defensive tackle Jay Bromley, former NFL players Jameel McClain and Doug Hogue, and many more.
