A Retractable Roof Has No Business Atop the Carrier Dome

Syracuse is home to the largest on-campus dome in the country -- the illustrious, ye olde Carrier Dome (emphasis on olde). The Carrier Dome -- colloquially referred to as "the dome" among Syracuse denizens or "the loud house" if you're over 50, wear New Balance shoes and sport Wrangler jeans -- was first established in 1980 for roughly $27 million. To give you an idea, $27 million in 1980 has the same buying power of over $83 million today. You can calculate things like that with a finance degree from Marist. Or if you're able to do a quick search on the inter web thing.
