Syracuse responds to the rise in COVID cases in New York

With New York seeing a rise in COVID-19 cases, Syracuse athletics announced some important changes that will take place for athletic events at the Carrier Dome immediately.

• The Courtside Lounge will be closed.
• Club 44 will be closed.
• No food or alcohol will be served at the stadium; water, soft drinks and coffee will be available for purchase at the cashless registers in the concourse.

Syracuse also announced the continuation of existing public health polices, including requiring masks inside the Dome. Syracuse Athletics noted that these changes will remain in effect “until further notice.”
