About the Buffalo to Syracuse trip
Trips to Syracuse are often for Syracuse University, games and concerts at the JMA Wireless Dome, Upstate Medical University and the Great New York State Fair. From Buffalo it's about 150 miles (242 km).
Start from BUF or anywhere around Buffalo, including Tonawanda, Williamsville or East Aurora. We take the Thruway (I-90) east, then I-690 or I-81 into Syracuse, then drop you at the door, whether it's the JMA Wireless Dome, Armory Square downtown or Upstate Medical University, or somewhere else.
The JMA Wireless Dome sits on the Syracuse University campus on University Hill, so game-day drop-offs follow the university's traffic plan.

Route and timing
- The Thruway east is straightforward; game days at the Dome and State Fair days in late summer slow traffic into the city.
- In winter, we keep an eye on lake-effect snow bands and adjust the pickup time if the forecast calls for it.
- The New York State Thruway is tolled and uses cashless tolling, so there are no toll booths to stop at.
