BJBerthiaume Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 As you may or may not know, next Saturday is the last ever Gopher football game at the Metrodome. 2009 is also the last ever Minnesota Twins season in the Dome. All it's got left is the Vikes. Share your favorite and least favorite Metrodome memories here, from Kirby to Duante, to Maroney and Barber, to the Super Bowl, to the Final Four. Whether you like it or not, it's a pretty historic venue... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PittsburghSucks Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 My favorite Metrodome moment has to be the 1998 NFC title game. Morton Anderson kicking the Atlanta Falcons into the Super Bowl. They were a fun team to watch & I loved the Dirty Bird dance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's awesome. lmao.And I guess it goes without saying that that's my favorite Metrodome moment. I guess number two would be that Randy Moss lateral he pulled off in one game. That was amazing.

udubs03 Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 This is easily my favorite memory. I was in the Gophers student section with my friends who went to Minnesota, proudly wearing my red shirt as I was pummeled with the inflatable axes that had been handed out at the game.

jkrdevil Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 My favorite moment happened whenever a batter hit a high fly ball that the outfielder couldn't find and thus resulted in an inside the park homerun. Who's bright idea was it to have a white roof? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erik121 Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 1991 World Series. Kirby Puckett "And we'll see you tomorrow night!" and the 10-inning gem by Jack Morris.What a classic call. One of the greatest moments in the building's history. I also have tremendous respect for the stadium crew as their are videos on youtube of them going from football to baseball to football to baseball all in one weekend.

-kj Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 It's not like the Dome is being demolished.

njmeadowlanders Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Gerald Williams's RBI single in the 6th inning of a 5-3 Mets loss to Minnesota in June of 2004...OK seriously, it was Penn State getting a gift call in 2006 that saved them from an embarrassing loss as they used a phantom pass interference late in the game to keep a drive alive and eventually beat the Gophers...And a runner up, the Jets went in there in '94 to beat the Vikings and secure me a winning week in my dad's then-office pool that I played as a 9 year old. $200 when you're 9 is about equivalent to being a millionaire...
