Basketball games often draw over 30,000 fans, and football games over 40,000. The university has bred dozens of famous professional players since starting an athletics program in the late nineteenth century, including all-time greats [[Ernie Davis]], [[Jim Brown]], [[Larry Csonka]] and [[Dave Bing]]. Both teams play in the [[JMA Wireless Dome]]. In addition to many former professional minor league teams, Syracuse was previously the home of several top-level pro teams, most notably the [[History of the Philadelphia 76ers#1946β1963: Syracuse Nationals|Syracuse Nationals]] who played a total of 17 seasons between the [[National Basketball League (United States)|NBL]] and [[National Basketball Association|NBA]], and won the [[1955 NBA Finals]] before moving to [[Philadelphia]] and becoming the [[Philadelphia 76ers]]. Syracuse was also the home of two different [[Major League Baseball]] teams: the [[Syracuse Stars (National League)|Syracuse Stars]] of the [[National League (baseball)|National League]] in 1879, which did not finish their first season; and the [[Syracuse Stars (American Association)|Syracuse Stars]] of the [[American Association (19th century)|American Association]] in 1890.
