Looking back at the Carrier Dome’s creation, nearly 40 years later

Published: 03/29/2017 @ 04:00 am

Whenever they could, Syracuse football coaches avoided showing recruits SU’s outdated home field. Built in 1907, Archbold Stadium constantly needed repairs before home games. For years, it crumbled. One day in the mid-1970s, Ronald Cavanagh walked a Syracuse football recruit into the Archbold Stadium locker room anyway. When a rat darted across a pipe, the recruit’s mother gasped.

Former Syracuse star Carmelo Anthony will be playing elsewhere soon

Published: 04/15/2017 @ 04:00 am

Melo was the star of a New York Knicks team that... more
