Not even a fire alarm in the Manley Field House could deter participants from raising money for cancer research.
The air in Manley Field House was buzzing with eagerness. Not for a Syracuse basketball game like it did over 35 years ago. This eagerness was to begin walking.
Droves of fans came out to Syracuse's annual Fan Fest on Saturday despite sporadic showers.
The 2015 Orange Fan Fest took place on Saturday afternoon at the SU Soccer Stadium and surrounding area near Manley Field House. The annual event showcased several of Syracuse’s athletic teams as they prepared for the upcoming fall season.

Syracuse University hopes its new indoor football-training facility’s full-size practice field, large roof and state-of-the-art equipment will impress new recruits, as well as ease the already-busy schedules of student-athletes.

Syracuse announced the addition of 27 student-athletes Wednesday, as most recruits announced their commitments on National Signing Day.
Punxsutawney Phil saw more than just his shadow Wednesday. He also saw the future of SU football, as Syracuse head coach Doug Marrone announced the addition of 27 new recruits on National Signing Day.
Eleven of those recruits are New York natives, a statistic that Marrone was happy with as he tries to get Syracuse back into traditional recruiting areas.
More than 2,000 light up one of their last SU nights at a new location for the annual year-end party.
Instead of going out with a bang, Syracuse University seniors were glowing at the 2010 Senior Celebration
Heavy rain and lighting did not stop more than 2,000 seniors from enjoying one of their last night as college students at a party themed, "Glowing the Night Away." In addition to free food and drink at Manley Field House, seniors played glow-in-the-dark mini golf, got airbrush tattoos and got to hang with Otto the Orange one last time.
