Favorite Superdome Memory

[TFoA]

2000 NFL Playoffs...Az-Hakim's fumbled punt recovered by David Milne to give Saints first playoff win in team history.

I remember that game vividly, because I was there.

Now you may be wondering, what was a diehard Falcons fan like myself doing there. Someone gave me and my uncle tickets to the game because they figured the Saints were going to lose. My Uncle's a hardcore Saints fan, so he was going to go, and that would be the first NFL game I'd go to. When the Saints won, that was probably the loudest I've ever heard that place.

I'm gonna miss it.

--Carmelo Anthony leading the Orange over Kansas to give Jimmy Boeheim his first title in '03.

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.

You just made a powerful enemy

Being a Packer fan, the Packer Super Bowl(even is I was a tiny guy) still is very vivid in my mind. The Vinatieri FG was alos great, capping one of the best SB's ever.

Make that two . . .

As a huge Joe Montana fan, and Bronco hater as a kid, I'd have to say Super Bowl XXIV. It was Montana's fourth and final Super Bowl as the 49ers destroyed the Broncos 55-10. I loved every minute of that game.

Oooohhh how scary.

I have no grudge with Syracuse. They played better and deserved to win.

Missouri on the other hand.....don't even get me started.

Loved every minute of that game, huh?

So you also loved the minutes while the Broncos scored...

Was the Superdome used once for baseball?

Mar. 15-16, 1990 -Major League Baseball exhibition; New York Yankees vs. Baltimore Orioles (Superdome baseball attendance records; 45,152 for Saturdays game; 2-day total of 88,542)

Thanks boss!!!

One has to wonder what would have happened had the NCAA not tried to hold the Final Four at the Superdome and stuck to traditional arenas. The NCAA originally had planned to set up the dome as it was set up for Jazz games, with a top capacity of about 30,000 and no seating on the far side of the field. After requests, it finally decided to sell those seats - carefully noting they were "distant view" - and ended up with 67,000. After that, there was no stopping the domes from getting the FF, and now they aren't held anywhere else.

Being an IU grad, I gotta go with Keith Smart's shot in '87, also.

Being a UNC alum, give me Jordan's jumper in '82 and Webber's TO in '93.

Being in the Chicago area...definitely Super Bowl XX with the Bears over the Patriots 46-10.

[tp49]

Being an Alabama alum it has to be the '93 National Championship win against Miami.

Non-sports related in 1999 I went to take a tour of the Superdome and was at the box office when tickets for some of the premier events for Jazzfest went on sale. I was able to get tickets to see Fats Domino and Ray Charles as soon as they went on sale after the person at the window said great seats were available for both shows better get them now if you want them. The tour was interesting too.

I'm going to have to say the only game I attended there. The 2001 Sugar Bowl. That whole weekend was one I won't soon forget. Even though Illinois lost...bad, it was still cool to see a huge arena like that filled with 4/5 Purple and a small 1/5 orange. If I never hear "Tiger Bait" again I'll be happy though

Suprisingly my favorite memory went against my team. The year the Bucs went on to win the Super Bowl they played the Saints in one of the last games of the year. They came into it as favorites but the Saints, wearing the throwback unis and all beat them and nailed the coffin shut on a fantastic drive by former Saints QB Jake Delhomme. Of course i hated that the Bucs lost but the thing i loved was that even though they were going to miss out on the playoffs once again, the stadium was packed and the fans were dancing around and cheering like ive never seen. Thats what made it so memorable, that the fans really do love their team and appreciate the fact that they are there. Thats why its gonna be so sad if New Orleans loses the Saints on top of everything else.

my favorite memories are: Ohio State beating Texas A&M in 1999 Sugar Bowl, Ohio State getting crushed by Florida State in 1998 Sugar Bowl (don't know why I like that but I was a little kid and Florida State was like the coolest team there was. I thought it was cool that we were playing them.) And then LSU beating Oklahoma for the national championship. I don't like Oklahoma.

Being in the Chicago area...definitely Super Bowl XX with the Bears over the Patriots 46-10.

Same here. I was born in Chicago and my family moved to Arizona before I turned 2. I was 9 years old when the Bears won Superbowl XX.

It was the first time a team I supported won a title. I've only seen two other championships since -- the '97 Arizona Wildcats NCAA hoops title and the '01 Arizona Diamondbacks World Series crown. So I cherish the Bears' glorious 46-10 win.

My only earlier sports memory is of the '84 Cubs, who collapsed after taking the first 2 games from the Padres in the NLCS.

My favorite memory of the Super Dome is the fact the Vikings never lost a Super Bowl there.

[NJTank]

Well Super BOwl IX was originally scheduled to be there but it was not ready yet.
