An exciting pre-quarter finals game between Bosnia and Somalia
Bravo to the organizers of World Refugee Day here in Syracuse. This year organizers moved the event to Schiller Park and added a dimension of excitement with a soccer tournament featuring teams from countries represented in the city.
The tournament was the perfect addition to the event, and the idea was also ripe for a city under the spell of FIFA’s World Cup first round action.
Many of the games were decided by sudden death shoot outs

Opening Day Hat
Opening day for the Syracuse Chiefs was full of energy, excitement, and possibilities despite the loss to 4-1 loss to Scranton/Wilkes Barre. The long lines and carnival atmosphere almost made you forget it was a chilly 48 degrees on Thursday.
The new management has made an concerted effort to bring some excitement to Triple-A baseball here in the city. We hope it lasts.
Chiefs New GM Jason Smorol was full of passion and enthusiasm during his pre-game remarks.
