[QUOTE="altgeld88, post: 1947159, member: 2886"] Remember that one well. The early Sunday morning after we beat Utah State. Fortunately, we had a bye week so two weeks before the next home game. IIRC the DIA had to replace a massive portion of the field. Wish I could find a photo. Because of the wind (from the northeast, which is unusual) the fire created a V-shaped plume about 30-40 yards long diagonally from the NEZ toward the home sideline. I'd make a joke about the perpetrators being fencers hailing from New Jersey and suburban Filthadelphia but that would be gratuitous and I'm above that. ;) Am absolutely shocked that, according to the LA Times article, the three stooges "may have been drinking before the incident."
