Syracuse, N.Y. -- Syracuse football fans will have a new tailgate option for the 2017 season.
The Marriott Downtown Syracuse, formerly Hotel Syracuse, will throw a party before each of the Orange's seven home football games this fall.
Starting 3 hours before kickoff, the hotel will shut down a block on Warren Street (between Harrison and East Onondaga) and host live music, games, food trucks, bar service and roundtrip shuttle transportation to the Carrier Dome.
The shuttle is free for those who park in the hotel garage. It will cost $5 for those who don't.
Game times for the three September home games and the Friday night clash with defending national champion Clemson have been announced.
