Favorite Superdome Memory

Recommended Posts

After hearing the news that the Superdome will most likely be destroyed, I started thinking about my fond memories of the Dome. I have been to many Saints games, but I think my favorite game was Brett Favre and the Green Bay Packers knock off the Patriots in Super Bowl XXXI. Also, I remember watching my beloved Gators destroy the 'Noles 52-20 in the 1996 Sugar Bowl to claim their first ever national championship. What are some of ya'lls favorite Dome memories?

Super Bowl XXXVI- The game's final play as announced by Gil Santos; I stil get giddy watching this.

"Ken Walter will hold, Lonnie Paxton will snap, from the right hash mark angled to the left for Adam Vinatieri, a 48-yard field goal attempt. Snap, ball down, kick is up, kick is on the way and it is...GOOD! IT'S GOOD! IT'S GOOD! ADAM VINATIERI BOOMS A 48-YARD FIELD GOAL AND THE GAME IS OVER! AND THE PATRIOTS ARE SUPER BOWL CHAMPIONS! THE PATRIOTS...ARE...SUPER BOWL...CHAMPIONS! THE BEST TEAM IN THE NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE!"

We all have our little faults. Mine's in California.

Best moment in Patriot history, IMO. February 3, 2002.

This would be my favourite memory... the orangemen finally pulling through.

Shut up.

Feaking Nick Collison not being able to hit a free throw.

Vintiari hitting that field goal was so freaking awesome. My favorite Super Bowl moment.
