I remember going to the dome to see the Cubs play the Twins on Easter Sunday... Pretty sure Sosa hit a walk off HR


i was there in 1999... they gave out commemorative blue Easter hats and the Sosa HR wasn't a walkoff

I rember the late 80's maybe early 90s going to the "Win Dixie SEC Classsic" or something where we would go watch LSU and the MS teams (it seemed) play baseball in the dome every year. Was pretty neat.

I remember as a kid going to exhibition games. My dad caught a HR with my glove. I think it was Willie McGee. I was probably 6-7 so around 1983.

I definitely went to a baseball game in the dome. I think it might have been a tulane game.... I'm 25 if anyone can think of which game it may have been... I remember they over threw third base and I laughed at how far they had to go to get the ball

I've been to over 100 baseball games at the Superdome, and am sad that it can no longer be used for baseball.

Aside from all the college games (Winn Dixie Classic), there were many many exhibition games in March.

I remember seeing Ron Guidry, Reggie Jackson, and the Yankees, and a World Series rematch between the Phillies and Orioles in 1984, and the Giants against the Bash Brothers A's in like 1988 or 1989.

I went to almost every single MLB game, I think.

The last one I remember was the Twins and Cubs in the early 2000's- maybe 2002 or 2003. That's the last baseball game I ever saw there.
