Syracuse Announces Modified Stadium Protocols

UPDATE: Effective, Wednesday, March 2, masks will no longer be required for stadium visitors who have been fully vaccinated. Individuals who are vaccine-exempt or who have not yet been fully vaccinated must continue to wear masks, except when actively eating or drinking.

Fans should expect the following measures when at the Stadium:

• Fans may purchase from a limited offering of food and beverages, including beer and wine. All food and drinks must be consumed while seated.
• All fans age 5 and up are required to provide proof of vaccination or negative COVID test. Proof must be shown at the gate to secure entry to the stadium. (Newborns to age 4 do not require a vaccination or a test result to enter the facility.)
• The Courtside Lounge will remain closed.
• Club 44 will remain closed.
• Tailgating in the parking lots prior to games will not be permitted.

The Stadium will continue to operate in accordance with the existing guidance and protocols prescribed by NYS and the Onondaga County Department of Health. Those existing local public health regulations will continue to be strictly enforced at the Stadium. These include:

• Effective, Wednesday, March 2, masks will no longer be required for stadium visitors who have been fully vaccinated.
• Patrons displaying any COVID-19 symptoms have been in close contact with someone that may have been exposed, or have a temperature exceeding 100.4° F, are asked to stay home.
• For safety and security, the Stadium will enforce a Clear Bag Policy. Each fan is allowed one clear bag and one small clutch or purse. Fans will be asked to return non-approved bags to their vehicle prior to stadium entry. Please visit the stadium entry/clear bag page for additional information.
• Stadium staff will not accept or provide a holding area for prohibited items. Please visit the Stadium Guest Services page for more information on prohibited items.
• Fans should enter the stadium at the designated gate on their ticket. They should arrive early to avoid delays and allow additional time to go through the entry validation process.
• Hand sanitizer stations are available on the concourse levels.
• Dedicated sanitizing staff are assigned to monitor and treat frequently touched surfaces.  

Please note that tests will not be available on campus. For information on testing availability, please visit:

Fans who are not able to provide proof of full vaccination or a valid negative COVID-19 test, according to the conditions above, will not be allowed to enter the Stadium. Over-the-counter test kit results are not accepted.
