Torn between getting your fill of the New York State Fair and watching the first Syracuse University football game of the season? Never fear, the opener against Liberty University will be shown at the fairgrounds.

The game will not be shown on broadcast or cable TV, but will be shown free of charge on the 55-foot inflatable big screen in the Exposition Center at 6 p.m. on Saturday, August 31. This Saturday is also Orange Day at the fair and fairgoers are encouraged to wear SU apparel as a show of support.

“We wish the Orange well as they kick off another season and are happy to offer this option for folks who want to enjoy the fair and also want to see the game,” said Troy Waffner, Fair Director.

The price to get into the fair on Saturday will be only a dollar for adults. Tickets for admission on Aug. 31 and Sept. 1 will be available at the gate or online through the fair’s website. Those who purchase tickets online will be entered into a drawing for a lifetime fair pass, which will allow the winner free lifetime entry to the fair.

Other deals on admission to the fair will be available throughout the weekend.
