The Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) is a collegiate athletic conference in the United States in which its fifteen member universities compete in the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA's) Division I, with its football teams competing in the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS), the highest levels for athletic competition in US-based collegiate sports. The ACC sponsors competition in twenty-five sports with many of its member institutions' athletic programs held in high regard nationally. ACC teams and athletes have claimed dozens of national championships in multiple sports throughout the conference's history. Generally, the ACC's top athletes and teams in any particular sport in a given year are considered to be among the top collegiate competitors in the nation. The ACC is considered to be one of the six collegiate power conferences, all of which enjoy extensive media coverage and automatic qualifying for their football champion into the Bowl Championship Series (BCS). With the advent of the College Football Playoff in 2014, the ACC will be one of five conferences with a contractual tie-in to an "access bowl", the successors to the BCS.
Founded in 1953 in Greensboro, North Carolina, by seven universities located in the South Atlantic States, the conference added additional members in late 1953, 1979, 1991, 2004, and 2013. The 2004 and 2013 additions extended the conference's footprint into the Northeast and Midwest. The most recent expansion in 2013 saw the additions of the University of Notre Dame, the University of Pittsburgh, and Syracuse University. In 2012, the University of Maryland's Board of Regents voted to withdraw from the ACC to join the Big Ten Conference. On November 28, 2012, the ACC's Council of Presidents voted unanimously to invite the University of Louisville as a full member, replacing Maryland.

I used to go to games at the Carrier Dome back in the mid to late 90's, when the place was packed, and the football team was loaded with NFL talent, winning conference championships. That place is so loud when it's full, and the crowd has a reason to make noise. The noise reverberates and echoes off the concrete, and the roof keeps it all in. I remember how hot it got, and the haze hanging over the field. It's becoming the Loud House again, now that the team is back to being good.
They will be lifting the top off and redesigning the Dome with a total face lift starting this summer 2019. The Crane they are using is one of six in the World capable of doing this, but first they will have to build a platform for it to sit on which will be twelve feet deep of reinforced concrete to stablilze the crane while it is dismantling the old iron work on the roof.
Prince and The Revolution performed here on the Purple Rain tour in 1985. That concert, Prince and The Revolution Live! is out on DVD
I grew up in Syracuse so I love the dome but usually 1980 designs don’t age well and that’s the case here
Best venue in the country? I can name two in the ACC alone. Death Valley and Doak
Syracuse needs a better facility...Carrier Dome is so 1980.
Doak has the most beautiful stadium. Its absolutely gorgeous !!!
Jk I love it!!! :)
This sucks
