Transformation of JMA Wireless Dome Continue, University Readies Installation of New Seats, Other Enhancements


Over the course of the last several years, Syracuse University has taken numerous steps to transform and enhance the experience at the JMA Wireless Dome. Today, the University announced that in the months ahead it will build on that momentum with the installation of upgraded chairback seating and the introduction of new premium offerings throughout the venue. Bench seating will be replaced throughout the 100, 200 and 300 levels, resulting in added comfort and accessibility. It also means the JMA Dome will have a new seat map and revised capacities for football, men’s basketball, women’s basketball, men’s lacrosse and women’s lacrosse competitions.
