What's the best game you've ever seen in the Dome?

1987 vs West Fn Virginia

Same for me.

the 1984 win over #1 Nebraska comes close but the WVU game came down to the wire and preserved the undefeated season. We came at them on the two point conversion with our bread and butter option and they couldn’t stop it. Billy Owens’ big brother converted one of the most electrifying plays in SU sports history.
 
'87 Penn State is up there for me.

'98 VT and Miami, as well.

Don't think I've ever heard the Dome louder than the '98 loss to Tennessee.
I go to more more away games than home games, but I did go to Miami 92 and that was pretty loud itself.
 
I've only been going consistently for about the last 6 years or so, meaning my favorite game has got to be upsetting Clemson in a packed Carrier dome. I had an opportunity to hang out on the field during pre game warms ups and while the team ran out of the tunnel. I now like to think of myself as a good luck charm, and am wondering why the University hasn't reached out to see if I'd like to be on the field during pre game for all home games.
 
Syracuse 3OT win over top 10 VT in 2003 for football. The Gillon buzzer beater to beat Duke for bball. Unless the Natty win counts because I was in the dome watching it on those screens they brought in and put on the field.
 
the 92 miami game because they were a beast and we had them on the ropes and who knows where that season would have ended had we won. probably 2-3 ranked going into the bowls with a win
 
Best Game: 1987 WVU because of the stakes involved against an Eastern Football rival.

Most Fun Game: 1987 PSU. They owned us for years. Right off the get go we completely dominated them until Mac called the dogs off. We could have named the score that day. Their fans were totally demoralized by the butt whooping we put on them,
 
Most of my home football games have been disappointing (come to think about it, I don’t think I’ve seen a road win either… maybe I’m bad luck)

T Hunt. I think it was BC? We were down two scores in the fourth. 3/4 of the dome left. Came back and won it in the last couple seconds. Was at the game with my dad. Made me proud when he said “why is everyone leaving? We can still win this”. was a hell of a finish

edit- Ive seen a road win, gosh darn Camping world bowl baby!!!
