THE PAYOFF
Why Syracuse is Great for Team Building
The practical reasons Syracuse works when you need to get a team together.
-
Easy to Get Everyone There
Downtown sits right along I-81, with University Hill (Syracuse University, Upstate) just up the road, so pulling a team together from anywhere in Central New York is simple.
-
Indoor and Outdoor, Any Season
Onondaga Lake Park’s lakefront trails on a nice day, or Destiny USA’s indoor spaces when the weather turns. Any time of year works.
-
Venues for Any Group Size
A boardroom of twenty, or a convention floor at the Oncenter that seats up to 6,230. Everything in between too.
-
A Downtown Built to Explore
Downtown’s compact blocks around Hanover Square and Franklin Square are built for a scavenger hunt or city challenge on foot.
-
Somewhere to Celebrate After
Armory Square’s restaurants are steps from downtown venues, ready when the event wraps.
