The JMA Wireless Dome has welcomed more than 18 million fans through its doors as the home to the Syracuse University Orange football, basketball, and lacrosse teams.
Located on the campus of Syracuse University, the JMA Wireless Dome, affectionately nicknamed “The Loud House”, is one of the most iconic sports and entertainment venues in the Northeast. Originally opened in 1980 as the Carrier Dome, this massive structure became the JMA Wireless Dome in 2022, marking the first time the stadium’s name had changed in over 40 years.
The Dome stands as the largest domed stadium on any college campus in the United States and the largest on-campus basketball arena in the nation, with a capacity of over 35,000. The Dome was designed with a domed roof to accommodate Central New York’s snowy winters while keeping fans cozy and dry throughout every game.
From the moment you step inside, the Dome delivers an electrifying atmosphere. Built for passionate crowds, this venue ensures that whether you’re cheering on the Orange or catching a concert, the experience is always unforgettable. Nicknamed “The Loud House” for good reason, the Dome’s acoustics amplify the roar of the crowd to deafening levels, particularly during important football and basketball matchups. The Dome’s reputation for its ear-splitting energy has made it a legendary home court advantage for Syracuse University teams.
Over the years, numerous renovations have been made to keep the Dome modern and fan-friendly. The once-inflatable roof has been replaced with a fixed structure. Upgraded LED displays, new seating, and enhanced amenities ensure that every visit is easy and enjoyable.
Besides Syracuse University athletics, the Dome hosts a variety of events including Monster Jam, NBA preseason games, WWE matches and more. Many notable artists have performed at the venue including Billy Joel, Paul McCartney, The Rolling Stones and Metallica, among others.
