The Carrier Dome is no more- at least in name.
Sportico, a sports business website, is reporting that the university and the Carrier Corporation have negotiated a settlement to end their naming rights deal, which was believed to be a lifetime deal when signed back in 1979.
Terms of the settlement between the two were not released.
Sportico says that JMA Wireless, a Syracuse company, will now have naming rights to the dome.
A deal Sportico says could bring in over $3 million a year to the university.
