SYRACUSE, N.Y. – Step into the Carrier Dome for Syracuse football’s home opener against Clemson on Sept. 14 and you’ll notice something quite different.
The concession stands at the dome have a whole new look this year—each stand has its own name, menu and identity, with the goal of fans connecting particular foods and drinks to individual stands, said Mark Tewksbury, director of food services at Syracuse University.
Many of the stands have now been equipped with TV monitors on the front of the stands that display both the menu and the broadcast of the game, so fans getting a snack won’t miss any of the action.
Here’s a look at both at the stands and the new foods they’ll be serving this season.
Dome Dogs

The popular nickname for hot dogs at the dome is now official and to celebrate, the school is adding a new dome dog. You can still get the classic Hofmann frank ($4.25), but fans now have the option of a larger, quarter-pound beef frank. Also made by Hofmann, the new hot dog has a firmer texture and bit more spice than the classic Hofmann German frank, which is made from beef, pork and veal. Think something closer to a Nathan’s or Hebrew National dog.
Locations: Between Gates C and D and between Gates A and F.

Borrowing its name from the Carrier Dome’s nickname, these new stands will offer burgers, sausages, nachos and other foods, as well as draft beer, canned beer, wine and canned cocktails. The location outside Gate E will be the only concession stand in the dome to offer chicken tenders. The braided pretzel at this location ($4.75) costs 50 cents more than the other soft pretzels found in the dome, but it’s larger than the others. Burger and chicken tender baskets come with fries at the Gate E location and with kettle chips at the Gate B location.
Locations: Outside Gate E and Gate B.

Gone is the Sbarro pizza and in its place is The Tomato Wheel, which launched in the university’s Goldstein, Kimmel and Schine food courts in fall 2018. Among the new arrivals are a pair of specialty slices topped with ricotta cheese ($5.25) or pepperoni and sausage ($5.75) and a stuffed pizza pretzel ($5.50). The stands will also serve regular jumbo pretzels, hot dogs, Italian sausage sandwiches, candy, beverages and healthier options, such as fresh fruit or cheese and grapes.
Locations: Between Gates A and B and between Gates D and E.

Location: Between Gates D and E.

Orange Express
This grab-and-go station was added in an effort to boost the healthier options available at the dome. A variety of wraps and salads are available, as well as hummus cups, yogurt parfaits, fresh fruit and cheese and bottled iced teas and juices. For those looking to indulge, the stand will also sell chips, candy and sodas.
Location: Between Gates A and B.

Cookies!
The three Perry’s Ice Cream stands around the concourse will now serve warm chocolate chip cookies. Sourced from David’s, these cookies would be an ideal pairing with ice cream. Just don’t forget the napkins.
