Guide to Carrier Dome Sightseeing
When visiting, Syracuse, New York for sightseeing, you may consider visiting one of the many museums and other attractions, but don't forget to visit "the dome," Syracuse's Carrier Dome.
Located on the campus of Syracuse University, 50,000-seat Carrier Dome hosts Syracuse Orange football, basketball, and lacrosse teams as well as high school football championships and some concerts.
An interesting fact about the Dome is that its indentations along the outdoor wall are an adequate size for a person to stand in, and a person standing in the indentation stomping on the ground produces a strong auditory echo, known as The Dome Stomp. Possibly because of this noise, earthquake senors located in a nearby often register increased activity during sporting events held at the Carrier Dome.
During sporting events, especially during loud crowd applause, earthquake sensors located nearby often register increased activity.
