The Syracuse Salty Dogs (formally Syracuse Football Club) were a professional men's soccer team based in Syracuse, New York
The name of the club originates from "Salty Dog" which is nautical slang for an experienced sailor who has spent much of his life aboard a ship at sea and thus generally given increased credibility by ship mates in matters pertaining to ship-board life and duties
The club was owned and operated by the Syracuse Pro Sports Group and played most home games at P&C Stadium
The team suspended operations in October 2004 due to financial difficulties and has not played since
However, groups have been working to return pro soccer to Syracuse.
