The Dome opened in September 1980, and the two and three-quarter million dollars the Carrier Corporation paid for its name made it the first named stadium in college sport; it has been the JMA Wireless Dome since 2022, but two generations know it as the Carrier Dome. The air-supported roof it carried for forty years was replaced in 2020 with a fixed one, two thirds of it translucent, hung from cable trusses off an external steel crown and engineered for more than seven thousand tons of snow. Air conditioning followed. It is the only on-campus domed stadium in top-division football and the only indoor venue in its conference.

The Loud House name comes from the echo of the old inflatable roof and it still applies, because a dome amplifies everything and the student section can break up an opposition play call on its own. Otto's Army and Otto the Orange run the noise; keys come out at the critical moments. The weather is irrelevant in here, which is the entire argument for a home game at the end of November in central New York.

Capacity fell from about 49,000 to 42,784 in 2024, when every bench was replaced by an individual seat.

Three levels: a lower bowl, the main concourse level and an upper deck that holds the most seats and has no lavatories or concessions of its own, so plan the trip before you climb. The bowl is raked steeply enough that there is effectively no bad view. Since 2024 every seat is an individual backed seat rather than a bench, which is why the capacity dropped by about seven thousand, and the student section moved behind an end zone at the same time. The new roof lets in much more daylight than the old one, so a day game in here no longer feels like a night game.
