| 16. The Carrier Dome | ||
|
||
| Perhaps no other building on campus is as famous as the Carrier Dome. Built in 1980, the Dome, which looms over the former site of its predecessor, Archbold Stadium, is home for SU's football, men's basketball, and lacrosse teams. Melvin C. Holm, then-chairman of SU's Board of Trustees and the Carrier Corporation, helped initiate multi-million-dollar funding for the athletic facility. The fifth-largest domed stadium in the nation, it was the first in the Northeast and is the largest on a college campus. The facility has been instrumental in bringing national prominence and recognition to the University and its athletic program. | ||
