Joe Godley has manned his podium since the Carrier Dome opened on Sept. 20, 1980, and vended at Syracuse sporting events since he started selling Coca-Cola in Archbold Stadium in 1974.

Godley’s personable manner has led him to build relationships with people around the country. Friends and family have hosted Godley as he’s worked 30 Super Bowls, two Olympics, six Final Fours, three NFL teams and one Masters Tournament through his career.

As droves of fans filed through the Carrier Dome during the men's college basketball tournament, dozens of locals — better known to him as family of 30-plus years — stopped by his podium to check in, most handing over $15 to extend the conversation, not for the program.
