Game Day — Syracuse

College football is more than a sport in the United States. It is a cultural institution that brings together students, alumni, and local communities through a shared sense of identity and belonging.

Photographed roughly three hours before kickoff, this series documents “'Cuse on the Quad,” a Syracuse University pregame event featuring student-athlete autograph sessions　and marching band performances. The photographs capture the anticipation and sense of community surrounding American college football, beyond the game itself.
