Yea let’s spend money on 6-7 non revenue sports to the tune of 250M. When you could have consolidated it into 1-2 projects that services the entire athletic department for about the same money.
OT: Syracuse’s New Fieldhouse opening next month
- Thread starter rutgersal
- Start date
If we had an offensive minded coach and dynamic OC, Gavin would still be committed. No field house is needed if the staff is great.
The reality is that we ranked last in donations and plus it’s super expensive to build in NJ. We are very fortunate that we are in a big TV market because we didn’t get into the B1G based on fans or the product on the field.
Recruiting is about opportunity to shine. Our offense doesn’t give QBs or receivers that opportunity. They want no part of the offensive stench Schiano emanates. Those aren’t priority positions to the HC (head chimp).
Opening 12/2024. Former Rutgers QB commit Gavin Sidwar visiting Syracuse today.
Syracuse targets December of 2024 for opening of new football operations center
Advance work for the construction project will begin this summer.www.syracuse.com
Sidwar’s decommitment had nothing to do with a Syracuse Fieldhouse that was announced in 2023 you moron.
Stop spamming this board and making $hit up.
Hey "Mary" GTFO with that bs. The terripins are 1-4 having gotten asses kicked except beating USC by 1. They beat mighty UConn and nova and Virginia. They're exactly tied with us right now. How's that new $150mm fieldhouse working for them,?
Hey "Sara". You're using a facility that isn't in place this year to claim they've passed us by lol. How bout a great recruiter , perhaps better coach/motivator and $800k QB.
AlNostradumbass continues to think Greg 2.0 will bolt if he doesn’t get his Precious Fieldhouse. Let him leave..good riddance
Agree. Donating toward his buyout would be money much better spent than on NIL. Nobody with options wants to be anywhere near his shit offense philosophy, even for $$$$.
He wouldnt ever have a place to leave to, though. No other program wants his calamitous style of football
Outside of Flats Harasymiak and maybe Orphey who else would be coveted by another staff?
Who is going to tell recruits the field house is where their $20.5M NCAA money is going for the next 10 years?
Our practice field complex is better than Syracuse’s
They need a new one to keep up with us
They need a new one to keep up with us
Lack of field house caused all of these injuries. Didn’t you get the update!!!
If we had a Fieldhouse we’d have better facilities for punt return group meetings. We currently don’t have any place for that, which is why we don’t ever do that.
Safe to say that Syracuse will have the best fieldhouse in Conference USA in 2026.
This isn't a great staff outside of Flaherty and Harismyak. And Harismyak isn't exactly having a great year so far. KC hasn't been worth the going pawn shop rate on his rather limited playbook.
Every team has injuries. Why do we have more than most? We were supposed to have depth this year according to the experts on this board. Same sh*t every year.
That's what the ballyhooed depth was supposed to address. Indiana lost their starting QB and won last week. Ohio State lost 2 of their best offensive linemen and still ran the ball down the throats of a team ranked in the top ten. On the road.

I’m not sure why everyone thought we had depth. It was a miracle to get all the guys to comeback for one more year. But it just wasn’t meant to be.
Al, I have hung in there with you for years, but in a couple years, they can have a practice facility the size of two Superdomes and it won’t matter. After the Big Ten, SEC, and Big 12 strip the ACC of all the decent programs, all that will be left will be Syracuse, Wake Forest, and Boston College. I think even Cal-Berkeley and Stanford will swallow their pride and go to the new PAC 8/10 and who knows about SMU. No one will care about Syracuse and their fieldhouse anymore than Tulsa or UMass building a new fieldhouse.
He’s visiting Syracuse because of its field house. He’s visiting Syracuse because Greg is an absolutely horrible coach and bottom 5 offensive minds in the country. So he pulled out of Rutgers and is looking for a viable option for his career
If everyone else has a strong Fieldhouse, it won’t provide an advantage. UCLA also has a very nice facility, which opened in 2017.
We are at a disadvantage because almost everyone else has a nicer facility, compared to ours. This puts us at a recruiting disadvantage.
Oregon’s facility was ranked #1, and they are expanding it. No wonder why they are currently ranked #1 in the country.
Oregon Football Ranked No. 1 in ‘Most Impressive Football Facilities’ With Expansion Looming
To say that college football has changed over the past 10 years would be a tremendous understatement, but what has happened is reflected more in the facilities

You are not understanding the scope of the problem. Since 2004, we have had better facilities than Syracuse, and this in part allowed us to beat them for most recruits. This year:
- they are likely to finish 8-4 to 9-3
- they have more NIL funds, especially evidenced by giving their qb a good amount
- their qb is on pace to throw for >3700 yards
- we are likely to finish 4-8 to 8-4
If we finish with a losing record, we will have a much weaker value proposition vs Syracuse, and this could affect our ‘26 class
If we had a Fieldhouse, our talent level, especially on our offense, would have been much better
