JMA Wireless Dome, Multi-purpose stadium at Syracuse University, United States.
JMA Wireless Dome is a multi-purpose stadium at Syracuse University in Syracuse, United States, displaying a wide roof structure over its interior space. The facility extends across multiple levels with seating rows arranged around a central playing field, and includes concession stands and restroom facilities distributed along the outer corridors.
The university opened the facility in September 1980 to provide an indoor arena for its sports programs. The original design used an air-supported roof, which was later replaced with a fixed system to improve functionality during extreme weather conditions.
Local residents commonly refer to the building as "The Dome," and game days fill the surrounding streets with orange-clad fans walking toward the entrances. Inside, the crowd noise often reaches intense levels during close matches, creating an atmosphere that makes communication difficult even in nearby seats.
Visitors should arrive early to allow time for finding parking and passing through security checkpoints, especially during major games. Signage directs to different sections, though upper levels require longer walks and steeper staircases.
The roof originally contained an air-filled system that occasionally required deflation during snow loads. During construction work, the playing field was temporarily converted into a hockey rink in 2020, hosting professional games.
