Don’t miss a full day of action in the JMA Wireless Dome on Saturday, when the AmeriCU Spring Game caps off an Orange Tripleheader<\/a> in the Dome!<\/p>\n

The Syracuse football team will give fans their first look at the 2026 Orange following two marquee matchups in lacrosse \u2013 with the No. 3 ‘Cuse women hosting No. 19 Notre Dame for Senior Day at Noon and the No. 5 men welcoming No. 13 Virginia, where legendary head coach John Desko will be inducted into the Ring of Honor at 4 p.m.<\/p>\n

The spring game will kickoff at 7:30 p.m. and tickets are free, but must be claimed in advance here: AmeriCU Spring Game Tickets<\/a>. Fans who have purchased tickets to either lacrosse game<\/a> can stay in the Dome for all subsequent events that day as the building won’t be cleared in between.<\/p>\n

Due to a high volume of fans expected to attend Saturday’s events, fans who do not already have parking passes for the men’s lacrosse game or are arriving just for the football game are encouraged to park at the Comstock Lot.<\/a><\/p>\n

There will be plenty of events to keep fans of all ages entertained throughout the day. Fans are encouraged to arrive early for the ‘Cuse women to celebrate the seniors for a pregame Senior Day ceremony and stay in their seats at halftime of the men’s game to honor Coach Desko \u2013 who was part of all 11 NCAA Championships for Syracuse men’s lacrosse and is one of the winningest coaches in the history of the sport.<\/p>\n

Following the each lacrosse game, members of both teams will head to Miron Victory Court for autograph signings, with free posters available, while teams for the next game warm up.<\/p>\n

The football team kicks off at 7:30 p.m., with the Orange continuing to be one of the few teams in college football holding a true spring game. This year’s spring game will start with a situational end-of-half scenario, before the teams play the remainder of the game in true 11-on-11 football.<\/p>\n

Head Coach Fran Brown<\/a> will be on the mic interacting with the crowd, there will be special on-field promotions, and spring team award winners will be announced.<\/p>\n

For those unable to attend the free event, the game will be broadcast on ACCNX, Cuse.TV and on the radio via the Syracuse Sports Network from Learfield.<\/p>\n

Following the spring game, students are invited to the Spring Game After Party, from 9:30 p.m. to 1:30 a.m. in Miron Victory Court. The after party event is not open to the general public and can only be accessed as a Syracuse University student by claiming an after party ticket here: Student After Party Tickets<\/a>. The Orange football team will be in attendance to wrap up the day in the Dome with a live DJ set, snacks, beverages and more.
