We’ve developed a grudging respect for Syracuse as an ACC school. Yes, the program has been mediocre. Big whoop.
The fans are passionate and the program, like Duke or Kentucky, is a year-round obsession. We grok it, our Orange brethren.
But we have to ask: has Syracuse made a mistake in changing the name of its arena?
There’s a lot in a name.
When you say Cameron, or Rupp, the Dean Dome or Allen Field House, those names register.
So does the Carrier Dome. That, however, is no more.
Syracuse has opted to rename the arena the (drum roll please) JMA Wireless Dome.
