Phil Collins and Genesis performed in the Carrier Dome for the second time in a three-day span on this date in 1992. The show drew a crowd of 25,386 fans. The group's first show two days earlier attracted 37,462 fans. Combined, Genesis performed in front of 62,848 fans in the Loud House.
In 1996, the Promise Keepers Conference got underway on this date. The conference's first day featured an attendance of more than 38,000.
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.
