Pre-game events for the Sept. 7 Syracuse University vs. the University of North Carolina football game in the Carrier Dome will be held at the Goldstein Alumni and Faculty Center and on the corner of College Place and University Place out of respect for celebrations of the Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashanah, that will be occurring at Hendricks Chapel during the same time period.
