Did you chant that? In my mind you chanted that.

It's funny to see people on Twitter getting all angry saying things like, "That's a stupid decision by SU", or "I'm never going to call it The Stadium! Not a lot of deep thinkers on that social media platform!

People have a hard time dealing with change

This reminds me (and this is all from memory so may not be 100% accurate) when the newspaper had a poll to pick a new name for the Syracuse Chiefs. And the #1 vote was for the name Chiefs. Then they went with Skychiefs.

I hope it's called the stadium. And I am born and raised Syracuse

“Those millenials going to the collage won’t know what their missing. Sad!”

Actual reply on Facebook to this news. Good grief.

As I may recall, the total cost of the dome was $26M. Carrier Corporation donated $5M to the cost of construction, the Crouse-Hinds Company donated $1M to SU toward the cost of construction and the other $20M came from NY state. Please feel free to correct this if I am mistaken.

Based on an online calculator, taking into account the historical rate of inflation, $25M in 1980 would be worth ~$78M in today's dollars.
The cost of the current renovation is around $205M, right? So comparing apples to apples, the cost of the "new" dome is ~2.5X the original construction cost. I don't know beans about corporate law, but I would be surprised if this isn't a major consideration in defending any legal challenge to removing the Carrier name.

Well it isn't a Dome and it may not be a stadium. It really is a bit of mix of the parts, a bit of a collage.

That sentence brings to mind many a high-profile posting of the past 4 years on various social media platforms.
