THE LOUD HO<strong>US</strong>E<br />
One <strong>of</strong> the more distinctive bumps along the city’s skyline is the<br />
puffy white ro<strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Syracuse</strong> University Carrier Dome, the only<br />
domed stadium <strong>of</strong> its kind in the northeast United States or on any<br />
college campus in the country. Built in 1980, the 50,000-seat dome<br />
gives a huge home-team advantage to the school’s basketball, football,<br />
and lacrosse teams and plays host to major concerts and community<br />
events — all <strong>of</strong> which have attracted millions <strong>of</strong> visitors over<br />
the years to the central New York area. — Jeffrey A. Charboneau
