Yes, it was closed last year. But it was very cold and windy on game day last year, even by Minneapolis standards. The weather this year looks a little warmer, so perhaps it will be open.
Would it matter to anyone else but the fans? I know Syracuse plays in a Dome, but I'm guessing the Orange are no strangers to cold weather/ the elements.
It's a night game, kind of so it won't really matter I wouldn't i think if you are watching other on TV, you won't be able to tell if it's not a day game
