Hi all!  My brother and I are headed to the Dome this fall for the 9/13/08 matchup vs the Orangemen.  I had been looking at going to out Camp Randall for the Wiscy game, but scheduling has me going here instead.  Anyway, I'm hoping to try this method out for having a onestop shop, inside BSD, for PSU travelers to come for away-game-related info (if this one works, I'll be glad to create the starter for the Purdue, Wiscy, OSU & Iowa games).

So, it turns out I was just up in the Cuse for the first time a few weeks ago for a wedding.  It's a pretty bleak town, the Cuse--very industrial and spread out.  The 'downtown' has a really localized bar area in a tight few blocks, not that big and not totally easy to find, called Albany Square.  It seems like it could be pretty cool on a gameday, tho.  That's about all I'll put out there from my experience, but I found this great Cuse Visitor Guide, curiously enough from a dude calling himself TexanMark, that's been pretty helpful: http://texanmarktailgate.blogspot.com/2007/05/syracuse-tailgate-and-visitors-guide.html  Oh, can also add that the Dinosaur Bbq is indeed All That: great frickin food, and a nicely divey, biker type decor, and a very, very mixed crowd.

Anybody else heading up?  Would love to see comments posted that give advice or tips regarding any aspect of traveling as a PSU visitor to an away game, such as food, drink, tailgating, transportation & accommodation.  Hope to see some of you up there in the fall! --jp
