Syracuse offers a Big League atmosphere at a Triple A price. Major upgrades are also on the way for 2020 and 2021. Plenty of parking, easy access from the NY State Thruway and Route 81. The stadium is on a campus with the Train and bus Stations, the Regional Farmers Market, and International Foods store. Opposite NBT Stadium is the massive DESTINY USA entertainment/mall, the 6th largest in North America. Several hotels are also very close including the brand new Embassy Suites Hotel. The stadium is ultra-clean, and well-staffed. Food prices are slightly lower than most Triple A teams.

This is a stunning and heartfelt sculpture that tells an important story of one of the first freed men after slavery and his recapture on behalf of a federal government out of touch with the state of New York. Worth a visit.

This was my first visit to the Civic Center. On the first floor is the Solvay Bank Box Office for purchasing/picking up reserved tickets. Next door is a small refreshment booth, with a much larger booth located on the second floor- a staff member informed that food & drinks are permitted on the balcony level. Restrooms are located on first & second floors. The second floor leads to the balcony & lower floor audience levels. On each side of the upper balcony are six four seat booths. The balcony seating has only a small walkway in front of the folding seats. Every time a person walked in front of my seat, had to stand up. The four seat booth have much space. The Performance: Celtic Woman is composed of four women-three vocalist which can be a single, double or all at once. The fourth woman is a dancing/prancing violinist, who also plays the harp. The women are backed with three male vocalist who also dance with the women & tap dance. Music is provided by one-two drum sets, one-two guitarist, solo flutist, bagpipes & the harp. The sound was excellent. no problem hearing the women's voices or music. Couldn't see any microphones, so the women must haved been wearing a headset microphone. Lighting: One or two large spot lights behind the balcony light center stage with 12-16 lights point straight down onto the stage. Also are side post lights for the stage. Colors were so;id blue, red, green, purple with a mix of gold/yellow. The performance lasted from 7:00 to about 9:30 with a 20 minute intermission. Twenty five songs were performed, that included two solo violinist. The doors from Montgomery Street opened 5:45 to a small outer lobby, while the main lobby opened at 6:00. The stairway is two tiers to the second level, with gate opening at 6:30. Parking was at the On Center Convention lot, at the intersection of South State & Addams Street. Balcony admission was $52.50 with the parking $9.00. Will return in the future factors being the voices, singing, music, lighting & the beautiful gowns worn. A performance is always in mid/late March. A concert is highly recommended. If a person has an ear for Celtic music, they won't be disappointed.
