Item: The Syracuse lacrosse 17-13 victory Saturday over Vermont not only improved the Orange’s record to 2-1, but came before the first audience to be entertained in the renovated building in some 371 days. Over the last year the most noticeable edifice in central New York has been home to plenty of construction workers, medical personnel, professors and students, and now at long last spectators at a sporting event. The university finally received clearance from New York State and Onondaga County health department officials last week to end the in-person crowd restrictions. Initially, a maximum of 900 students, who both tested negative for COVID-19 at least 24 hours prior to the event, and passed a succeeding 15 minute rapid test administered in the Dome upon entry, are now allowed to sit socially distanced in the 100 level of seating, above the first seven row seat covers, to cheer on the Orange.
