Apr 13, 2008 - That bar that kept swinging back and forth had two camera men on it when we went for our high school game, good thing no one was up there, and i would like to say that the player who made the shot to go into overtime should be given some type of medal.

Jul 29, 2008 - the tornado was about 150 yards from the Dome, if it would have taken a direct hit then it would have been much worse. The dome is only built to withstand wind to 80mph and the tornado was about 150mph

Aug 16, 2008 - With the 2:11 seconds to go in overtime of the game between Alabama and Miss. St. the game was immediately stopped after the fans and players heard a loud noise and saw the sides of the building being torn and debris falling onto the floor. Thankfully, #1 Mykal Riley had hit a huge three point basket to send the game into overtime keeping the fans safe inside the dome, and out of the tornado storms outside. That shot saved lives.

olasov1975 Says:

Sep 2, 2008 - I live around the corner from the dome in a loft. I remember when the tornado hit, I heard a whoosh and then some wind and rain. I had NO IDEA that a tornado had glanced by my building. There was no damage at all in my building or on the street. Around the corner where the dome is, destruction. Riley's 3 pointer saved a lot of lives that night!

Arem177 Says:

Sep 9, 2008 - God, I wonder why I didn't hear about that.

tried2btrue Says:
