=== JMA Dome ===
{{Main|JMA Wireless Dome}}
Toward the end of the 1970s, Syracuse University was under pressure to improve its football facilities to remain an NCAA Division I football school. Its small concrete stadium, [[Archbold Stadium]], was seventy years old and not up to the standards of other schools. The stadium could not be expanded; it had been reduced from 40,000 seats to 26,000 due to the fire codes. Syracuse University decided to build a new stadium. In 1978, Archbold Stadium was demolished to make way for the [[Carrier Dome]], which was named after [[Carrier Global Corporation]] following a $2.75 million gift and would have a domed [[Teflon]]-coated, [[fiberglass]] [[air-supported structure|inflatable roof]].<ref name="Dome"/> It would also serve as the home for the men's basketball team, as a replacement for Manley Field House. The Carrier Dome was constructed between April 1979 and September 1980.{{sfn|Greene|Baron|Hall|Sharp|1998}}<ref name="Dome">{{Cite news |date=March 11, 2014|title=Deja vu: Four decades ago, Syracuse community fought over plans to build an SU stadium |url=https://www.syracuse.com/news/2014/03/deja_vu_four_decades_ago_syracuse_community_fought_over_plans_to_build_an_su_sta.html |access-date=January 19, 2020|work=[[syracuse.com]] |language=en|archive-date=November 26, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211126104422/https://www.syracuse.com/news/2014/03/deja_vu_four_decades_ago_syracuse_community_fought_over_plans_to_build_an_su_sta.html|url-status=live}}</ref>

In May 2018, the university announced a major renovation to the Carrier Dome as the central portion of a larger campus update. The renovation, estimated to cost $120 million, was completed in 2022. The most significant changes are the replacement of the current air-supported roof with a fixed roof, two-thirds of which will be translucent, the installation of air conditioning and the largest center-hung video board in college sports. The upgrade also included new lighting and sound systems, [[Wi-Fi]] improvements, [[Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990|accessibility]] upgrades, improved restrooms, and new concession spaces.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Syracuse University Announces $118 Million Investment to Create a New Stadium Experience – Syracuse University Athletics|url=https://cuse.com/news/2018/5/14/general-syracuse-university-announces-118-million-investment-to-create-a-new-dome-experience.aspx|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180925104224/https://cuse.com/news/2018/5/14/general-syracuse-university-announces-118-million-investment-to-create-a-new-dome-experience.aspx|archive-date=September 25, 2018|access-date=September 25, 2018|website=Syracuse University Athletics}}</ref> The university announced the next phase of its work towards enhanced stadium experience, which will include complete replacement of benches with individual seats; a construction of an event facility adjacent to the Dome; and an upgrade of the entire wireless infrastructure.
