Saw barry and favre play at my one silverdome experience. Driving to my one FF experience, we passed
The silverdome. Weeds were four feet tall in the parking lot. Sad. And i need to get out more.
Edit :both were wins.
Iirc: silverxdome game we beat gb getting into the playoffs, where the next week gb knocked us out.
FF game was against the bears a few years ago...... and the crowd was a huge factor in causing false starts. Was a beat down.Last edited by dpatnod; December 20, 2014, 01:52 AM.Lions Fans.

Yeah, I remember the windy doors.
Best games I ever saw there were the Monday Night game vs the 49ers in 1995 and the Thanksgiving game against the Bears in 1997 when we blew them out of the building 55-20. I remember a game vs Indy when Barry had 200+ yards.3,062 carries, 15,269 yards, 5.0 yards/carry, 99 TD

I was there for the playoff win against the Cowboys
I was there for the Jets game when Barry rushed for 2000
Lots of great memories in that place
I love the way the whole building shook when the crowd got loudThe only logical explanation is:
I'm about to die and this is my Jacob's Ladder

Yep, the dome was absolutely thunderous when the Lions were rolling. One of my favorites was a Thursday night game vs the Packers when Barry ripped off 2 80 yard TDs, though one was called back on a terrible holding call.

----------------------------------I was there as well.
I think that was the game in which a Lion player had to retire due to a near fatal injury.
I could Google it, but I'll let someone else look it up."I hope to see the Lions in the Super Bowl before I die"
