Syracuse Athletics introduced 12 concessions locations to the Carrier Dome for the first unveiling of the proposed Carrier Dome renovations. Among the new vendors are The Tomato Wheel, Salt City Popcorn and Loud House Grill.

Here’s a full rundown of the options.

The Tomato Wheel

Associate athletic director for business development Anthony Di Fino joked that pizza vendor The Tomato Wheel was successful in its “tryout” for the Dome’s new selection. It was popular among students after being added to SU’s Schine Student Center. In addition to the nachos grande, hot dogs and jumbo pretzels found at a number of other vendors, the location serves specialty pizza for $5.50 a slice.

Salt City Popcorn

One of the new vendors in the Dome, Salt City Popcorn will offer traditional buttered popcorn as well as specialty flavors. Di Fino said SU Athletics will get fan feedback to determine what new flavors to add to the mix. They will collect the data from surveys sent out to all ticket-buyers after games. Di Fino said fan feedback will determine a lot of things regarding the food, including specialty slices at The Tomato Wheel.

Super Nachos

The nacho vendor is a walking taco concept where Di Fino said fans will have the ability to customize their order. Nachos grande, which had been sold at the Dome previously, is also sold at Super Nachos.

Loud House Grill

 Drawing inspiration from the Dome’s nickname, “The Loud House,” Loud House Grill is the stop for tradition stadium food such as hot dogs, sausage sandwiches, burgers and more. Chicken fingers are sold at the location adjacent to Gate B, and the Gate E location replaces the side of fries with kettle cooked potato chips.

Dome Dogs

Dome Dogs, other than snacks, treats and items sold at most concessions stops, sells little else than traditional hot dogs. A hot dog is $4.25 and a 1/2 pound beef dog is $5.50. Fans can add sauerkraut for an extra $1.50.

Beverage Express

 The Carrier Dome is one of the few college sports venues that serves alcohol in concessions. In addition to Loud House Grill, Beverage Express, next to The Tomato Wheel locations, is where fans would find alcoholic drinks, including wine slushies.

Orange Express

This kiosk-style vendor is a result of fan surveys that said the Dome’s concessions lacked healthy food options, Di Fino said. SU Food Services wraps, salads and a number of other snacks are available.
