The annual Faculty and Staff Appreciation Day will take place on September 7 when Syracuse University hosts Georgia Tech.
Syracuse University will celebrate its faculty and staff with discounted football tickets for the game at the JMA Wireless Dome. The Orange will face off against Atlantic Coast Conference rival Georgia Tech, with kickoff scheduled for noon.
Faculty, staff, and their guests are invited to the Kenneth A. Shaw Quadrangle before the game to enjoy a performance by the Pride of the Orange Marching Band, an appearance from mascot Otto the Orange, and food and beverage concessions.
The first 400 full-time, part-time, or temporary faculty and staff with a Syracuse University I.D. who visit the pregame Faculty and Staff Appreciation tent on Shaw Quad will receive a game day gift and a $5 concession coupon redeemable in the JMA Wireless Dome. The pre-game tailgate begins at 9 a.m.
A drawing will be held during the week prior to the game to invite faculty and staff members to enjoy an enhanced game day experience. Those who purchase tickets before September 1 will be eligible for this drawing. Winners will be notified before game day.
Discounted tickets are priced between $18.75 each (300-level seating), $34.88 each (predominantly 200-level seating), and $57.93 each (300-level seating near the 50-yard line) for University faculty, staff, their children, and guests (up to a limit of 10). Tickets can be purchased online until the day of the event.
University parking permits will be honored for free game day parking at Skytop parking lot and Comstock Avenue and University Avenue garages. For those without University parking permits, a single one-time-use complimentary Skytop parking pass is available for pickup on September 5-6 from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Office of Human Resources with proof of ticket purchase and Syracuse University I.D.
