Carrier purchased the naming rights to the Carrier Dome, the football and basketball arena at Syracuse University. Interestingly, despite being named for an air conditioner manufacturer, the Carrier Dome is not air conditioned.

It is home to the Syracuse Orange football, basketball, and lacrosse teams. ... Syracuse University (SU) is a private research university located in Syracuse, New York, United States. ...

The Carrier Corporation historically has been based in Syracuse, where Willis Carrier moved his facilities from New Jersey in the 1930's. During the late 20th century, when it was acquired by UTC, it was Central New York's largest manufacturer. In recent years Carrier has substantially downsized its presence in Syracuse with manufacturing work being sent to Asian locations and managerial employees located closer to UTC's Connecticut corporate headquarters. This has been a challenge for the Syracuse regional economy.

Carrier has several air conditioner models that are certified by Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers (AHAM). The Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers or AHAM represents the manufacturers of household appliances and products/services associated with household appliances sold in the United States. ...
