Syracuse Orange fans can return to Dome Sweet Dome this Saturday, when SU football hosts Colgate in the 2023 season opener. And based off some comments from Athletics’ leadership, it will be the last football opener before several additional upgrades are completed.
Director of Athletics John Wildhack, Chief Facilities Officer Pete Sala, JMA Chief Operating Officer Andy Adams, and SU Professor & SIDEARM Sports founder Jeff Rubin held a conference inside the Dome to discuss the ongoing project’s progress.

By all accounts, this will be the final year of bleachers inside the Dome, as the entire facility is set to have its current seating removed and replaced with blue chairbacks.
