Matt Oja doesn’t like to bring his phone with him to Syracuse games in the Carrier Dome.
Oja has been going to SU games since he was an infant. His parents both taught at the university. He’s an SU law graduate from the Eastside, and he likes to keep his old ticket stubs in a collection that dates back to at least 1983.
Oja’s phone isn’t a smartphone, though. After working 55-60 hours a week in front of a computer screen, he uses SU sporting events with friends as a way to unplug.
