Summer Slam is back! This exciting event, hosted by One Orange Alliance and Vinny Lobdell, will take place at the Lobdell family barn in Skaneateles. It’s the highlight of the Syracuse men’s basketball offseason and promises a night of celebration for fans and alumni.
This year marks the second installment of Summer Slam, where Syracuse basketball legends will come together to kick off an exciting new era. Attendees can expect an exclusive experience featuring an on-court conversation with new head coach Gerry McNamara and Hall of Famer Carmelo Anthony.
Fans will get a sneak peek of the 2026-27 roster and have the chance to watch thrilling competitions like a dunk contest and a 3-point shootout. Several Syracuse head coaches are also expected to join the festivities.
The event offers more than just basketball. Enjoy delicious food, an open bar, and both live and silent auctions. A spectacular fireworks show will wrap up the night, all while supporting Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) opportunities for student-athletes.
According to a recent NCAA report, student-athletes are increasingly benefiting from NIL deals, which can make a big difference in their college experience. Events like this foster community support and create pathways for future athletes.
So, if you’re a fan of Syracuse basketball or just want to be part of a great community night, this is an event you won’t want to miss!
