SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Syracuse University Athletics is getting ready for the upcoming installation of new chairback seating throughout the JMA Wireless Dome during the summer months.
The effort will replace all the current bleacher seating in the venue.
The change in seating requires a new seat map, Syracuse University said in its Wednesday announcement. That includes changes to section, row and seat numbers, due to the revised capacity for football, men’s and women’s basketball, and men’s and women’s lacrosse.

At the same time, Syracuse University also said that ticket pricing “has been adjusted to reflect the upgraded experience and new inventory.” The school also says season-ticket holders are encouraged to review the new pricing and seating maps for 2024 at Cuse.com, the website of Syracuse University Athletics.
For football, season tickets range from $99 to $725 (with the donation included), depending on seat location in the JMA Wireless Dome.
“Across the board,” pricing for football, men’s basketball, and women’s basketball “remains competitive” nationally and within the Atlantic Coast Conference, Syracuse contends.
The seat map includes two new premium spaces that will be offered in 2024 and beyond, Syracuse said. The Sideline Club offers pre-game field access; private access to the Kuhn Gameday Lounge presented by Hidden Level; and a new premium seat tied to Club 44 for both football and men’s basketball.
Both areas include padded orange chairbacks and “all-inclusive food and enhanced beverage options.”
The latest phase of renovations also includes the construction of Miron Victory Court, a pedestrian plaza physically connecting the Barnes Center at the Arch to the JMA Wireless Dome.
“We are thrilled to share that the JMA Wireless Dome transformation project is moving ahead on time,” John Wildhack, director of athletics at Syracuse University, said in the school’s news release. “Renovations to ADA seating and suites already underway and the installation of the chairback seating and new premium seating areas set to be completed this summer. The new seats will improve fan comfort and accessibility. In anticipation of the new seating, we will begin the ticket sales and re-seat process for 2023-24 next month. The process will prioritize fan loyalty and fan experience.”
Reseat process
The reseat process will begin with the football season-ticket renewal and purchase process on Feb. 1, Syracuse said. Current season-ticket holders will receive a message from the ‘Cuse Athletics Fund and JMA Dome box office with information on how to purchase season tickets and seat selection instructions.
As in previous years, fans will have the option to pay in full or elect a payment plan. Both options benefit a ticket holder’s Donor Rank, Syracuse University noted. Season tickets for the 2024 football season start at $99.
The 2024 men’s and women’s basketball season-ticket renewal and purchase process will begin on Feb. 20.
Men’s basketball season-ticket holders will partake in a similar seat-selection process as football-ticket holders. Ticket holders for football, men’s basketball and women’s basketball should buy their season tickets and review their Donor Rank by May 1, the university said. Following this deadline, combined parking and seat selection for football and men’s basketball will begin on May 21 and July 9, respectively, Syracuse University said.
Women’s basketball season ticket holders will not need to take part in a seat selection process and will be able to confirm their new location as part of the season-ticket process in their MyCuse account or over the phone with ‘Cuse Athletics Fund Sales and Service representatives, Syracuse said.
