Making an appearance at the Orange’s 92-69 Feb. 5 victory over the University of Louisville, Davidson was wearing a Syracuse-themed bomber hat when his presence was announced to a lively Carrier Dome crowd.

The Saturday Night Live star was booed mercilessly.

Davidson and the residents of Syracuse, NY have an adverse relationship.

In 2019, after shooting coming-of-age film Big Time Adolescence in Syracuse, Davidson issued a series of negative comments about the city and the time he spent there.

Appearing on an episode of The Howard Stern Show, Davidson told host and fellow comedian Howard Stern that the city of Syracuse is “trash,” and lamented over the lack of luxury hotels within the Salt City’s confines.

“Dude, I was shooting this movie out in Syracuse,” Davidson told Stern. “Syracuse, you know, it’s trash. Worse than Staten Island.”

“The nicest hotel in Syracuse is, like, a f*****g Ramada,” he added.

Earlier that year, ahead of the 2019 Sundance Film Festival, Davidson ripped Syracuse explaining that members of the city’s police department kept an extra-keen eye on him, much to his chagrin.

“It sucked,” Davidson said of filming Big Time Adolescence during the summer of 2018.

“The whole town of Syracuse blows,” he told Variety. “Let’s be honest, they just found out I was there and tried to arrest me the whole time.”

Referencing an ordeal in which Syracuse.com reported that a passenger in a vehicle Davidson was driving was arrested for marijuana possession in bordering Manlius, NY, the comedian vowed to never return to Syracuse.

“The cops, because there’s nothing going on there, they were hunting me down the whole time,” Davidson told Variety. “They tried to arrest me for bringing business to your town. Never again, Syracuse.”

Despite the stern warning, Davidson did return. And despite a sea of boos from the Carrier Dome faithful, the comedian offered an apology for his scathing comments and requested forgiveness from the people of Syracuse.

In a video tweeted by Syracuse.com reporter Mike Curtis, Davidson (still wearing the bomber hat emblazoned with the university’s signature block “S” logo) acknowledged the tension he created with the city’s residents and proposed a truce between the two sides.

“Hello Syracuse,” Davidson said. “Thank you so much for having me and my friends in the building. We had a really great time.”

“Peace?,” he asked, hopefully.

No news yet if the truce was accepted.
