What's The Craziest Things You've Ever Seen In The Dome?

[CuseGrad94]

It was versus Texas, and I was part of the mass of humanity that fell on top of Marvin Graves. I thought he was dead.

Hello Neighbor! I was front row and this were my student season tickets all year. I know I have mentioned this before on the board, but I guess I have lived a very fortunate life because in my 53 years I dont think I have ever been so certain I was dying on the spot. Being in the front row I was pinned against the metal rail and everyone on top of me. When I finally got to the ground (it’s a much steeper drop than it appears on TV they wanted to bleeping kick us out!!! Like we were the issue and not the concrete and crappy bolts. Anyways I played hurt for a few minutes and when the dust settled they moved us over to the corner of the end zone. That 2 point conversion was great and it was an awesome win.

In the famous 1998 game against VA Tech, my friend was so drunk he got kicked out of the game twice. Then still somehow made it back to storm the field. Then got pummeled by security guards for swinging from the goal post

Im sure you dont feel bad for that and rightfully so, I would classify that under karma.
Most refs have earned a hot dog smack to the head and if they are unable to process all avenues of info and be pissed or offended by that smack they shouldnt be a ref.
I mean they signed themselves up for a lifetime of a karma tug of war.
If I was that ref any videos of it would have went viral and I also wouldve spent 3 months in Jamesville laughing the whole time. Hot dog!


** Jumping a mile in the air seems like an odd reaction to a half eaten hot dog missile to the back of head. I woulda maybe did a backwards, underhand& swinging right hook. Or a reverse leg sweep... or as previously mentioned, pretend I was at the trough and whip it out...Jumping would have never entered into the equation...Weirdos jump to violence&hot dog missiles.

Is SUNY Jamesville still open?

Here’s our man, Joe Godley!

'Program Joe' Godley has been selling in Syracuse for 40 years

He says he's sold over 1 million programs in his career.

spectrumlocalnews.com

20 years ago he deliberately pressed up against my breast with his hand. Are there no real heroes left in our world?

The things I saw at bills games

I miss the vendors shouting “get your ICE cold beer here!”

I got out of active duty in Aug 91 and started at SU. I sold beer for football and basketball that year. The Florida game was crazy. I would have to wait 15 minutes to get a new rack of beer everytime. I would take the rack of 20 beers (with cellaphane tops) to an aisle near the endzone. I would pull all 20 out of the tray and the people would hand me $60 for the beers and a $20 tip. I think I came home with $360 that day.

One year I sold concessions 1994 I think - and we were playing Miami. I forget the number of beers you could order at one time but someone came up and asked for a LOT of beers. And I gave them to him - literally the only time I broke what limited rules we had - because Miami was on their way to kicking our ass thoroughly

That the fudge did I just read?

1980 Pitt game Syracuse getting creamed . A pigeon flying high in the rafters, guy sitting near me "They keep playing like this "This is gonna be the biggest Pigeon Coop in the World"

I have a few but my own personal embarrassment would be 1996 VT game. Hosted a tailgate and was invited onto field as Alum Cheerleader. I help lead the team out... I gave myself a good cushion as I had brought a keg of Killians to the tailgate. I did love that Irish Read Ale back then... welp I never knew how those lines could just jump up and trip you ... i did a total nose dive just past mid-field. That carpet was not forgiving... winded, wind knocked out, and fully embarrassed I got up and ran straight to my seats in the far endzone. I got abused by friends the rest of the day. We crushed them that day. So I did my part.

This is extremely disappointing and totally ruins the perception of a guy who was a fixture of some of my earliest childhood memories.

I’m sorry that happened to you.

No biggie. Thank you.

I checked Google AI copilot and it came back with the Jamesville correctional facility as being open.

I sharted in my pants & the old lady behind me died

That was so eerie. You could hear a pin drop except for Michelle's moans. And it went on for so long.

Pretty sure one of them was me

Besides my first acid trip at the 1994 Pink Floyd show at the dome, between watching the giant, angry boùncîng pigs and the light show, my mind was blown.
A couple years before that sitting in section 247 during a packed game, a big dude that was tatted up literally lit up a cigarette and smoked the whole thing without a care in the world. Noone said a word. Imagine someone doing that now?
I just asked my brother about what year that was and he said the guy got kicked out 20 minutes later but i dont remember that.

I said the Pearl half-court shot initially thinking only sports related but this brought me back to the fact I attended a Waylon Jennings, Willie and the Boys concert sometime around 1982-1983. My mother won tickets from radio call-in. My girlfriend at the time and I sat on the floor and my parent and grandparents were in the sideline stands. The smoke was wafting so thick you could not see in front of your face. Pretty sure everyone was higher than a kite by the end of the night.

Sat in the top row of 300s, 1989 or 90, night football game. all the lights went out, but lightening lit up the roof almost constantly. Some way/how Carl Eilenburg? asked everyone to stay put in seats so as to not panic. Like I was even gonna try to go down those stairs in the dark.

Seriously.

I grew up in Foxboro, MA. Schaeffer/Sulllivan/Foxboro Stadium was like something out of Mad Max in the 70s, 80s and 90s. The fathers in my neighborhood who had season tickets wouldn't take their kids because of how freakin' awful it was. Fights everywhere, people pissing and vomiting on each other, language that would make a longshoreman blush.

Hell, in 1985 when the Pats clinched a wild card, some dudes tore down a goalpost, marched it out of the stadium and down Route 1, clipped a power line and electrocuted themselves.

The Dome is the Magic Kingdom compared to what I've seen in Foxboro.

Acoustics must have been much better if you were able to hear Mayor Carl.

The weirdest and best thing to be seen is us kicking Miami’s ass this weekend and it will be the field rush.

I was there late that season, remember the dildo tossed on field began there

 

[dollarbill44]

we were consistently in the top 25 in bball and football, competing for conference championships

Now, that does sound crazy!

This may be urban legend, or , something I made up in my own mind. But , I swear at a WVU football game, the announcer said over the loud speakers that someone needed to move their tractor in the parking lot as it was parked illegally. He went onto say it had WV license plates, number was EIEIO ..
