Syracuse football selling out dome fulfills Dino Babers prophecy

Syracuse football is back in the Dome on Saturday and will host the No. 1 ranked Clemson Tigers in one of the most anticipated games of the 2019 College football season.

It’s Syracuse’s home opener as well as Clemson’s first road trip. Since these two programs have played each other close the last two years (one of which Syracuse won in 2017), this matchup drew the attention of the nation and the hometown fan base enough to sell out the game for only the ninth time in school history, according to Syracuse.com.

Just to put that in perspective, when these two ACC Atlantic Division teams face off they will be playing in front of 50,000+ fans in Syracuse NY.
