Syracuse University announced a crowd of 22,340 fans for Saturday night’s ACC matchup with North Carolina at the JMA Wireless Dome. It was the second-largest announced crowd of the 2024-25 season for Syracuse basketball, behind 23,313 for the game against Duke. Those in attendance saw Syracuse’s second-half comeback fall short.

North Carolina triumphs at JMA Dome
Syracuse has led the nation in total attendance 28 times since the Carrier Dome (now JMA Wireless Dome) opened in 1980 and typically finishes in the top 3 in that category. Currently, Syracuse ranks third in accumulated attendance at 281,425 fans and averages 18,761 per game, positioning them fifth nationally.
The Orange will travel to Pittsburgh on Tuesday night before returning to the dome on Feb.
Syracuse basketball never led at home versus North Carolina on Saturday night, but the Orange hung around and didn't get blown out. There's one main reason 'Cuse fell to UNC. My column (via @DAMNTWIN). 🔽 https://t.co/Z9XbnWuoQI
