Everyplace will be packed for that game. I had season ticket up until 4 years ago. It became to much with the kids getting older. I do miss hanging out before the games, especially the big weekend games. There is no other place in the country like it for basketball. I still make it to a couple every year but for the most part I like watching them at home. Guess I am getting old.
I lived in Sadler hall as a freshman....the dome was in my front yard. I had season tix all four years of college....I have seen some pretty amazing games under that roof. It is THE premier college basketball arena. The last game I saw there was Cuse vs. Nova that set the all time attendance record (before last years duke game broke that record). This trip will be much more PG since the wife and kid are going as well. We are staying down in Armory Square. It's the wife's first trip to Syracuse.
What years were you there? They have done some work at Armory. Eventually they want to connect it to campus with some type of transportation or walking bubble.
Yeah the "connective corridor" or something like that...connecting the hill with downtown...essentially the university and other interests are buying up realestate (crappy neighborhoods) and fixing them up to encourage businesses and the like...and to make it safer and generally more aesthetically appealing to go from the hill to downtown. I still keep up Syracuse affairs on a semi regular basis.
