The JMA Wireless Dome in Syracuse, New York, is a prominent feature in the city’s skyline and a central hub for Syracuse sports. An investment of $3 million was recently announced towards enhancing fan experience and safety at the dome. The funds will be allocated for various upgrades including ensuring ADA compliance, improving fire systems, and replacing benches with seats that have backs.
The new seating arrangement is nearing completion, with only a few sections left. The project organizers promise to reveal more details soon, before the upcoming football season. The ADA compliance aspect will focus on making the seating accessible for individuals with disabilities, while the rest of the budget will be utilized for enhancing fire safety measures.
Carl Heastie, the Speaker of the New York State Assembly, emphasized the importance of supporting iconic venues in Upstate New York. He cited previous funding for projects like the Buffalo Bills stadium and a new baseball stadium in Rochester as examples of the state’s commitment to local communities. The impact of the $3 million investment at the JMA Wireless Dome is expected to significantly benefit the nearly one million fans who attend events there annually.
