One takeaway from the Syracuse Orange’s loss to Clemson a couple weeks ago was the fact that it was an amazing and sold out crowd — and as has been now been discussed by Syracuse.com’s Chris Carlson, that group had a hard time getting around in the Carrier Dome before, during and after the game.
Initially, the Dome renovations included a larger structural adjustment to the venue which included building out new and wider concourses to help alleviate the sort of congestion that plagues some of the building’s more attended football and basketball games. Carlson’s piece talks about some ideas after the Clemson game including closing certain concessions for periods and encouraging people to enter through their tickets’ designated gates — the former sounds like a recipe for longer lines at open vendors.
