Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Sports in Syracuse (as a city) are huge. Syracuse is an Orange town through and through, and everywhere you go you will find support for the Orange. On the SU campus, the sentiment is not as pronounced. In the two major sports (football and basketball), SU students differ in their fanaticism. Football can draw some hardcore fans, and as most sports teams, some fair-weather fans. Basketball, however, brings out a unified, campus-wide pride. The successful 2002–2003 season might have had something to do with the boost in supportive school spirit for the basketball team. SU students just can’t get enough of the basketball team. One main reason students love varsity sports is the Carrier Dome—the setting for all football, men’s basketball, and men’s lacrosse home games. The Dome is great for football, especially when it’s snowing outside, as well as basketball. The best part about the Dome is its location—right in the middle of the SU campus.

Intramural sports are fairly popular at SU. Flag football and basketball are the big draws, and they can get competitive—unfortunately, maybe a little too competitive. The rules are very strictly enforced, which is why pick-up games seem to be the better option for most of the students on the SU campus.
