Designed to resemble the Roman Colosseum and never become obsolete, the Archbold Stadium became a brand trade from Syracuse football. The stadium forms a large concrete oval, 670 feet long (204 m) long and 475 feet wide (145 m). It's 100 feet (30 m) longer and only 22 feet (7 m) thinner than the Carrier Dome, and over 6 million football fans pass through its gates.

From 1907 to 1978, the Archbold Stadium was the home of SU soccer. Archbold opened loudly when Orange defeated Hobart 28-0. It came out in style 71 years later, with an impossible victory over the Navy's second rank of 20-17. Syracuse posted a 265-112-50 record at Archbold, and it accommodates many great teams. It was the home of the 1915 squad, who was invited to play in the prestigious Rose Bowl and defeat his opponents 331 to 16. The 1959 team also called Archbold back home on the way to the only SU National Championships.

In 1978, SU fans bid farewell forever to the historic stadium. Archbold was destroyed to pave the way for a new facility on campus, Carrier Dome, which opened in 1980.

Orange is the color of the official school, adopted as it was in 1890. Before that time, the colors of pink school and green beans. Orange, blue and white are traditionally used for athletic uniforms.

The athletic nickname comes from the official color. Prior to 2004, the official athletics team's nicknames were "People Person" and "People of the Aged". This former nickname is still used well by some fans. However, beginning with the 2004-2005 school year, the official nickname was changed to "Orange." This revision is neutral-gender, concise, and reflects the nickname as the color of the school, rather than from the Irish and Irish Protestant fraternal organizations. Other nicknames over the years include "Hilltoppers," for school locations on the hill, and "Laskar Saltine", for former mascots.

Mascot

In 1931, a native American soldier known as Nathan March aka: "Salt Warrior" became an athletic mascot. The name comes from an article explaining archaeological excavations on campus allegedly exposing the artifacts of a native American soldier. The soldier was called "Salt Warrior" because of the large amount of salt reserves in the Syracuse area of ​​New York. The article was later revealed to be a hoax, but the mascot remained for the next four decades.

In the mid-1950s, the father of the brotherhood of Lambda Chi Alpha had a cheerleading camp. He made a Saltine Warrior costume for his son to wear at a Syracuse football game. So began the tradition of nearly 40 years Lambda Chi brothers as a university mascot.

In 1978, Salt Warriors were banned by the university as part of a national movement to eliminate original American motifs, becoming one of the first colleges to do so. The mascot briefly turned into a Roman soldier, but was eventually unofficially replaced in 1982 by a giant, cartoon-style Orange.

Otto the Orange

Cheerleaders and mascots were at UCA Cheerleading Camp in Tennessee that summer, and narrowed the field into two potential names - "Opie" and "Otto." Finding the name "Opie" would lead to an inevitable rhythm with "dumbass," they settled on "Otto." Later that fall, word got out that the cheerleaders were calling Otto's new mascot costume, and the name was jammed.

Otto Orange was adopted by the university in 1995 as the official university mascot, chosen for a wolf and a lion is also being considered.
