More than 30,000 fans gathered in the Carrier Dome on this date in 1992 for a concert by the group Genesis. It's one of two events the Dome has hosted on June 5 throughout the past 25 years.
Phil Collins and Genesis have performed several times in the Dome. The show in 1992 attracted 37,462 fans.
In 1990, the Dome hosted 780 guests at the Interreligious Dinner.
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.
