Dome Memories

[Stevenson]

Since I' m stuck at home watching a sick three year old, lifting weights and popping mood altering sedatives, I thought that given the fact the old wrecking ball will be swinging soon and that once proud building we all called home for so many years will be modestly changed, I would list my Top 10 Dome memories:

Top Ten Dome Memories:

10. ROTC Drilling on Tuesday mornings
9. Springsteen 1985

My memory is so wonky, I am not even sure if the ‘memories’ I have of U2 in 87 are real.

Game memories are a jumble. Half court season tix from 85-89 were a treat. So grateful for having seen Pearl for a year. Then the heyday of DC, Sherman, Seikaly, Triche, Stevie... Good times.

My best memory of the Dome was my graduation day.

Pink Floyd with the laser light show hitting the inside of the top of the dome.
First dome game 15 or so years later, a win!

What class were you in?

Not today

The VT football game in 98 and Pitt hoop game in 03 were probably the best examples of games where afterwards I felt like I’d played, had no voice the next day, and was wired for hours afterwards.

I remember as a kid I used to look at the clock at games and get bummed out like “there’s only half a game left”. I wanted those games to go on forever. Loved being there.

At least Roy didn’t hit us with a “The Carrier Dome is now officially closed” in the post game presser...

He probably doesn’t even know. There’s no passion in this. Just surgical style executions every year.
