Syracuse Traditions

The Traditions

Every Syracuse fan knows to wear orange — the Dome becomes a sea of citrus on 'Orange Out' games. The iconic 'Song of the Orange' echoes through the building before kickoff, while Otto the Orange, one of college football's most recognizable mascots, patrols the sidelines with infectious energy.

Pregame Rituals

The marching band's pregame performance builds anticipation as they parade through campus. During games, listen for the crowd's thunderous 'Let's Go Orange' chant reverberating off the Dome's roof.

In-Game Moments

The 44 jersey retirement, honoring legends like Jim Brown, Ernie Davis, and Floyd Little, remains one of Syracuse's most sacred traditions.
