Just read this article about the last Vikings game at the Met - wow - I had no idea how crazy it got after the game! So, anyone here participate in the destruction of the stadium that day? Any good stories about what happened after the game? Anyone with souvenirs? Would love to hear your stories!

attended the second to last baseball game there.  At least I think it was.  Some kids called up from the minors named Hrbek and Gaetti.  IIRC Gaetti hit a HR in his first at bat.

Saw my fair share of bone-chilling games there, not the last one. I had reached some semblance of common sense by then...
