1. People getting hit by paper airplanes from the upper decks. I used to be amazed how these would somehow hit someone in an empty Dome while we were down 4 TDs to the Bills at halftime.

I remember one year the Breakers at halftime drove a brand new truck out to the 50 yardline, and everybody had been given a few sheets of paper with lines to put your name, number, and address on.

At halftime you'd take your papers and fold them into an airplane and throw them towards the truck... anybody who got their airplane to land in the truck's window (or bed, I can't remember I was fricking 5) won the truck. I remember watching the people in the 2nd quarter obsess over their folding and how they could possibly get it to fly far enough to reach the truck. It was cool seeing all the airplanes thrown at one time more or less, and to see how some actually got pretty close.
