Syracuse's club baseball team was established in 1979 and has been successful in tournaments. The sport is currently played at the club level and the team is part of the National Club Baseball Association (NCBA).

Many students, alumni, citizens and other baseball enthusiasts in the area are in favor of an NCAA varsity team being formed on campus, but the athletic budget is a difficult barrier.[citation needed] In a September 12, 2006, story in The Daily Orange, Michael Wasylenko, chairman of the Athletic Policy Board, said Title IX and Syracuse's athletic budget is still a major crutch.

The previous record was set on February 23, 2013, against the Georgetown Hoyas, with 35,012 in the stands.

Manley Field House edit

 
Manley Field House

Built in 1962, this complex houses many of the offices of SU Athletics including the Equipment Room. It also contains academic rooms and two weight rooms strictly for Syracuse athletes only. Adjacent to the complex there are a variety of fields used for softball, soccer, field hockey, as well as a track for the track and field team. Manley was initially used as an indoor training facility for the football team, as well as a home court for men's basketball. Its seating capacity, 9,500, for basketball, at the time among the largest campus facilities in the Northeast, supported the rise to national prominence of the men's basketball program. The team shifted to the JMA Wireless Dome after the 1980 season. In the final men's basketball game played at Manley, Georgetown snapped the Orangemen's 57 game home winning streak.

Carmelo Anthony Basketball Center edit

The name comes from Syracuse basketball star, Carmelo Anthony, who donated $3 million to the project. Anthony played one year with the Orange, the 2002–2003 season, in which he helped the program win its only NCAA Championship. It's a college basketball practice facility located in Syracuse, New York. The facility opened September 24, 2009. Both the men's and women's basketball teams for Syracuse University use the center. The facility houses two practice courts, locker rooms and office facilities for the men's and women's basketball programs at Syracuse.

Historic edit

Archbold Stadium edit

 
Archbold Stadium

Thanks to a $600,000 gift by Syracuse University trustee and Standard Oil President, John D. Archbold, what was publicized as the "Greatest Athletic Arena in America" opened in 1907. Designed to resemble the Roman Colosseum and to never become outdated, Archbold Stadium became a trademark of Syracuse football. The stadium formed a massive concrete oval, 670 feet (204 m) long and 475 feet (145 m) wide. It was 100 feet (30 m) longer and only 22 feet (7 m) thinner than the JMA Wireless Dome, and more than 6 million Orangemen football fans passed through its gates.

From 1907 until 1978, Archbold Stadium was the home of SU football. Archbold opened up with a bang when the Orange defeated Hobart 28–0. It went out in style 71 years later, with an improbable victory over second-ranked Navy 20–17. Syracuse posted a record of 265–112–50 at Archbold, and it housed many great teams. It was home of the 1915 squad, which was invited to play in the prestigious Rose Bowl and outscored its opponents 331 to 16. The 1959 team also called Archbold home en route to SU's only National Championship.

In 1978, SU fans said good-bye forever to the historic stadium. Archbold was demolished to make way for the new on-campus facility, the JMA Wireless Dome, which opened in 1980.[10]

Nicknames, mascots and colors edit

Orange is the official school color, adopted as such in 1890. Prior to that time, the school's colors were rose pink and pea green. In 1898, a proposition to add secondary blue color was vehemently opposed by students and alumni.[23] Orange, blue, and white are traditionally used for athletic uniforms.[24] According to an 1890 newspaper article uncovered by the Syracuse Post Standard, the orange was originally a reference to the Netherlands, which first colonized New York State.[25] It's common in upstate New York for place names to make reference to the Dutch heritage. In a similar way, the original settlement that became Albany was called Fort Orange.

The athletic nickname derives from the official color. Prior to 2004, the official nicknames of the athletic teams were the "Orangemen" and "Orangewomen." These former nicknames are still affectionately used by some fans. However, beginning with the 2004–2005 school year, the official nickname was changed to the "Orange." This revision is gender-neutral, concise, and reflects the basis of the nickname as being the school color.

Other nicknames over the years have included the "Hilltoppers," for the school's location on a hill, and the "Saltine Warriors," for a former mascot.[citation needed]

Mascot edit

In 1931, a Native American warrior known as Nathan March aka: "Saltine Warrior" became the athletic mascot. The name derived from an article describing an archaeological dig on campus allegedly uncovering the artifacts of a Native American warrior.[26] The warrior was called the "Saltine Warrior" because of the abundant salt deposits in the Syracuse, New York area. The article was later revealed to be a hoax, but the mascot remained for next four decades.

In the mid-1950s, the father of a Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity brother owned a cheerleading camp. He made a Saltine Warrior costume for his son to wear at Syracuse football games.[27] Thus began a nearly forty-year tradition of Lambda Chi brothers serving as the university's mascot.

In 1978, the Saltine Warrior was banned by the university as part of the national movement to eliminate Native American motifs, becoming one of the first colleges to do so. The mascot briefly morphed into a Roman warrior, but was eventually replaced unofficially in 1982 by a giant, cartoon-style Orange.[27]

Otto the Orange edit

The cheerleaders and mascots were at a UCA Cheerleading Camp in Tennessee that summer, and narrowed the field down to two potential names—"Opie" and "Otto." Figuring the name "Opie" would lead to the inevitable rhyme with "dopey," they settled on "Otto." Later that fall, word got out that the cheerleaders were calling the latest mascot costume Otto, and the name stuck.[28][29]

Otto the Orange was adopted by the university in 1995 as the university's official mascot, selected over a wolf and a lion also under consideration.[27]

Athletic Arena in America opened in 1907 Designed to resemble the Roman Colosseum and to never become outdated Archbold Stadium became a trademark of Syracuse football The stadium formed a massive concrete oval 670 feet 204 m long and 475 feet 145 m wide It was 100 feet 30 m longer and only 22 feet 7 m thinner than the JMA Wireless Dome and more than 6 million Orangemen football fans passed

official school color adopted as such in 1890 Prior to that time the school s colors were rose pink and pea green In 1898 a proposition to add secondary blue color was vehemently opposed by students and alumni 23 Orange blue and white are traditionally used for athletic uniforms 24 According to an 1890 newspaper article uncovered by the Syracuse Post Standard the orange was originally a reference to the Netherlands which first colonized New York State 25 It s common in upstate New York for place names to make reference to the Dutch heritage In a similar way the original settlement that became Albany was called Fort Orange The athletic nickname derives from the official color Prior to 2004 the official nicknames of the athletic teams were the Orangemen and Orangewomen These former nicknames are still affectionately used by some fans However beginning with the 2004 2005 school year the official nickname was changed to the Orange This revision is gender neutral concise and reflects the basis of the nickname as being the school color Other nicknames over the years have included the Hilltoppers for the school s location on a hill and the Saltine Warriors for a former mascot citation needed Mascot edit In 1931 a Native American warrior known as Nathan March aka Saltine Warrior became the athletic mascot The name derived from an article describing an archaeological dig on campus allegedly uncovering the artifacts of a Native American warrior 26 The warrior was called the Saltine Warrior because of the abundant salt deposits in the Syracuse New York area The article was later revealed to be a hoax but the mascot remained for next four decades In the mid 1950s the father of a Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity brother owned a cheerleading camp He made a Saltine Warrior costume for his son to wear at Syracuse football games 27 Thus began a nearly forty year tradition of Lambda Chi brothers serving as the university s mascot In 1978 the Saltine Warrior was banned by the university as part of the national movement to eliminate Native American motifs becoming one of the first colleges to do so The mascot briefly morphed into a Roman warrior but was eventually replaced unofficially in 1982 by a giant cartoon style Orange 27 Otto the Orange edit Main article Otto the Orange The cheerleaders and mascots were at a UCA Cheerleading Camp in Tennessee that summer and narrowed the field down to two potential names Opie and Otto Figuring the name Opie would lead to the inevitable rhyme with dopey they settled on Otto Later that fall word got out that the cheerleaders were calling the latest mascot costume Otto and the name stuck 28 29 Otto the Orange was adopted by the university in 1995 as the university s official mascot selected over a wolf and a lion also under consideration 27 References edit Color Palette Syracuse University Brand Guidelines PDF Retrieved December 19 2022 Alandt Anthony 2 November 2022 The storied history of Syracuse
