Florida Georgia Line Could Hurt Opening Night Dome Atmosphere for Syracuse Football

The country superstars are set to perform at the brand new Lakeview Amphitheater in Syracuse September 2nd, the same day the Orange open their 2016 season.

We knew it wouldn't be good, but the fact that it's a country group at the pinnacle of the genre certainly makes it that much worse for Syracuse fans.

Over the weekend, the promoting group Live Nation confirmed that on September 2nd at the Lakeview Amphitheater in Syracuse country stars Cole Swindell, The Cadillac Three, and Florida Georgia Line will be performing. While this normally would be news that would make any music fan jump for joy, it stinks considering the concert is the same night as the debut of Dino Babers and the 2016 Syracuse Orange in the Dome against Colgate.
