It’s no secret that the Syracuse Orange have one of the best home court advantages in the NCAA. Although overall attendance is down from the 2019-2020 season (nearly 3,000 less fans on average), the one thing that has changed for the better is the student support.
Otto’s Army, the Syracuse student section, has been out in full force since fans were allowed back into the Dome. Back during football season, the group set a new attendance record in the game against Clemson: 5,768 student tickets sold. The previous record for football was 4,900.
The southwest corner of the Carrier Dome remained packed going into basketball, and that has translated into success on the court.
