SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Concession changes, mobile ticket options, and additional ride-hailing locations are among the changes that fans will see when coming to the Carrier Dome for a sporting event this academic year.
Syracuse University Director of Athletics John Wildhack on Wednesday outlined some of the changes in a late morning press conference.
“The enhancements that I’ll talk about … they’re all designed and they’re all a byproduct of surveys and comments we’ve received from our fans,” Wildhack said in speaking with reporters on Wednesday morning in the auditorium of the George R. Iocolano and William C. Petty Football Wing.
