This Date in Dome History: September 30

The Orange is undefeated in the Carrier Dome on September 30. The football squad beat Brigham Young, 42-14, in 2000, and the men's soccer team defeated Army, 2-1, in 1988. The men's soccer victory was the sixth in the Dome for the Orange to start the season and improved the team's record to 9-2.

In the 2000 football victory, running back James Mungro and wide receiver Pat Woodcock each scored two touchdowns. Mungro, who gained 119 yards on 11 carries in the game, scored on a 61-yard run and a 20-yard scamper. Woodcock accounted for 144 yards on his two touchdowns catches, including one for 79 yards and the second for 65 yards.

More than 23.5 million people have passed through the revolving doors of the Carrier Dome since the building’s first public event on September 20, 1980. Throughout the 2005-06 SU athletics seasons the University will celebrate the first 25 years of the Loud House.

In the first 25 years of the Dome, more than 1,740 events were staged, including collegiate, professional and high school athletics events, University commencement, concerts, a circus, and community events. These activities are chronicled in the more than 100 photographs that are currently in the concourse of the Dome. Fans who attend events in the Dome can re-live the memories with these photos.
