where did syracuse play before the carrier dome
Carrier Dome Toward the end of the 1970s, Syracuse University was under pressure to improve its football facilities in order to remain a Division I-A football school. Its small concrete stadium, Archbold Stadium, was 70 years old and not up to the standards of other schools. The stadium could not be expanded; earlier in the decade it had been reduced from 40,000 seats to 26,000 due to fire codes. Therefore, Syracuse University decided to build a new stadium on the site of Archbold, which, appropriately for Syracuse's often cold weather, was to have a domed Teflon-coated, fiberglass inflatable roof. While the Dome was being built during the 1979 season, Syracuse played "home" games at three different locationsâ€”Giants Stadium, home of the NFL's New York Giants; New Era Field (then known as Rich Stadium), home of the NFL's Buffalo Bills; and Schoellkopf Field, home of the Cornell Big Red.[7] When it opened in September 1980, it was made clear just how loud it was inside; that night the Dome's famous nickname, "the Loud House", was coined[citation needed]. The inflatable roof causes the sound produced to echo many times, multiplying the loudness produced inside. It would also serve as the home for the men's basketball team, as a replacement for Manley Field House.
Yankee Stadium (1923) The "Bat" continues to stand outside the Metro North Station, built in 2009. A 450-foot long pedestrian walkway and its staircase meet at the "bat".[56]
Mount Horeb In other biblical passages, these events are described as having transpired at Mount Sinai. Although most scholars consider Sinai and Horeb to have been different names for the same place,[2][3] there is a minority body of opinion that they may have been different locations.[1]
