Willis Haviland Carrier.

It would totally suck, I'm guessing.

The Orange would still be playing in Manley Fieldhouse.

We wouldn't be spending billions of dollars every year to bail out idiots who live in hurricane country?

The "funny" thing is that the Carrier Dome[sup Bri ?]
(which I preferred to call the NY state taxpayer's Dome)
is NOT air conditioned !! It is an air inflated dome--
thanks to whoever invented the revolving door.
Of course someone else would have "invented" AC.
Like we'd have no light bulbs w/o Edison ?

Maybe they should have named it after Cicero, then.

Going to games on a sunny September day is like sitting in a urine and sweat sauna.

And beyond that, Carrier gave next to nothing for the naming rights. $2 mil, something. They should give it back, rip that stupid dome off the top and sell the rights to someone that would pay current market price.

Building that dome was the worst thing that ever happened to SU football.

Are you really this ignorant?

Really?

The first incandescent light was made about 70 years before Edison "invented" it.

Tell us how Ben Franklin "discovered" electricity, tard.

Somebody would've came up with a way to keep houses and buildings cool in the summer at some point...Carrier just beat everyone to the punch.

I'm working on a solar-powered heat-exchanger-btw.

Catch is, I don't have the design/engineering skills to research/design/build such a thing...but I know someone who does.

Nevermind that that "someone" doesn't think that the current idea is going to be anywhere efficient enough to be practical...I WILL make Carrier my bitch, sooner or later.
