The Carrier Dome is a 51,000-seat domed sports stadium located on the campus of Syracuse University in New York State, USA. It is the largest domed stadium on a college campus and the largest domed stadium in the Northeastern United States. It is home to the Syracuse Orange football, basketball, and lacrosse teams. In regard to basketball it holds another title, being the largest on-campus basketball arena, with a listed capacity of 33,000, but this limit has been easily exceeded several times. High school football championships are also held in "The Dome," as are occasional concerts. Some notable concerts in The Dome's past have been by Bruce Springsteen, The Police, Elton John, Frank Sinatra, Billy Joel, The Grateful Dead, Rod Stewart, U2, Genesis, the Rolling Stones, Garth Brooks, The Who, Neil Diamond, and Pink Floyd. Each October, the dome hosts the New York State Field Band Conference marching band championships.

On March 5, 2006, a new basketball attendance record was set, at 33,633, in the last regular-season game ever for beloved Orange guard Gerry McNamara.
