Metrodome Moments Part 2

Here are some more of your favorite Metrodome Moments:
I was at a Vikings game at the dome on a bitterly cold day in 1998. The guy behind me spilled a whole beer on me during an amazing catch/run by Randy Moss. The person coming to pick us up was caught in traffic and after the game, my wet clothes froze solid and I had to "break" them to get into the car! It was such a good season, I didn't even care!!! -Jennifer B

I've attended plenty of events at the Metrodome (Gophers football, basketball and baseball, Vikings football, high school football, baseball and soccer, monster trucks) but nothing can top being in the building for Game 7 of the 1991 World Series. I got a pair of free tickets out of sheer luck and will never forget it. - Brian M

Being with my sister at the games. She has been a season ticket holder for 46 seasons and has only missed 5 home games(including preseason games)!! My family is passionate about the Vikings! - Beth P

Me and my sons were at the vikings game vs tampa bay and Jared Allen got hit and the bridge of his nose was bleeding. Everyone was booing at the Bucs and the very next play Jared Allen got a sack and the crowd went WILD. It was the best moment at the metronome for me. -Don G

After being "just friends" for a year, my husband and I spent our first date at the Metrodome. Ever since, the trips to the Metrodome have marked important events in our lives together, including celebrating our wedding with friends in a press box! -Rae B

Metrodome Moments Part 1

Here's a selection of Metrodome Moments that have been shared with us so far:
"My entire family attending a Vikings/Packers game. Our family has grown so much, we took up an entire row! Fun time!"  -Denise J
"The reception for the Twins winning the Division championships in 1987 where the decibel meter was pegged!!!!!"  -William B

"Watching my son get a behind the scenes tour and sleep overnight on the field with his Boy Scout troop; so fun!"  -KRIS O
"Growing up the Metrodome was a big part of my life. I had went to Twins and Viking games. I went to concerts and events. State football tournaments. I used to go to the stadium before games just to meet the players even though I wasn't going to the game. Even with all of these memories my greatest would be when Favre hit Greg Lewis for the game winning touchdown against the 49ers. All game long I had 49er fans around me that kept bragging to my friend and I because the Vikings were trailing. That last play was incredible. The emotion in the stadium was intense. Favre lobbed the ball up into the back of the endzone and when Lewis caught the ball the Dome erupted. You could feel the whole place shaking. When the play was under review there was no noise to be heard. It was eerily silent. The review seemed to have taken forever. When the ref came out from under the booth and confirmed the touchdown that place erupted once more. This time even more intense. By far my greatest memory at the dome!"  -Jeff E

"My favorite Metrodome moment(s) were the 3 football games I played there during the 2011 and 2012 MSHSL Football Tournaments, including the Class AAAA XXX Prep Bowl game."  -Zach H

St. Cloud Subaru Supports the SCSU Huskies with Safest Cars on Ice Promotion

It's time for another season of hockey with the SCSU Huskies! That means it's also time for St. Cloud Subaru's "Safest Cars on Ice" event during the second intermission of every home game!

 
If you're not familiar with the event, we pull one of our cars onto the ice and have two teams race each other. One team member sits on the sled, and the other pushes the sled to the car and then back, causing all kinds of slipping and falling and hilarity, the opposite of what you'd get with an All-Wheel Drive Subaru, the safest car on ice. The winning team gets a prize, and the audience gets a great show.

This year we also added a St Cloud Subaru customer appreciation and St Cloud Subaru VIP parking for our customers that are Huskies fans, so stay tuned on our Facebook and Twitter for details about that.

Come out this weekend and support the Huskies at their Home Opener Weekend. You'll have a great time watching the game, and don't forget to stick around during the second intermission for another really fun show!

Subaru Among Elite Few Rated Superior In New IIHS Front Crash Prevention Test

Continuing its strong performance in crash testing, Subaru has two models, the top-selling Subaru Legacy sedan and Outback crossover, rated as “superior” in the new IIHS Front Crash Prevention (FCP) test program. The FCP program was created as a result of research by the Highway Loss Data Institute indicating that forward collision warning and automatic braking systems, such as Subaru’s EyeSight system, are helping drivers avoid frontal crashes.
The Institute rated models with optional or standard front crash prevention systems as superior, advanced or basic, depending on whether they offer autonomous braking, or autobrake, and, if so, how effective it is in tests at 12 and 25 mph.

  • Superior rating is given to vehicles that have an autobraking system such as Subaru EyeSight and can avoid a crash or substantially reduce speeds in both tests.
  • Advanced rating applies to vehicles with autobrake that can avoid a crash or reduce speeds by at least 5 mph in one of two tests.
  • Basic rating is for vehicles with a forward collision warning system that meets National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) performance criteria.
In all, 74 vehicles (2013-14MY) were tested. Subaru’s Legacy sedan and Outback crossover were among the seven vehicles that received the “highest” possible rating of “Superior” when equipped with optional autobrake and forward collision warning systems. The 13MY/14MY Legacy and Outback were the only vehicles that received the highest possible score of six points.

Check out EyeSight technology for yourself at St. Cloud Subaru, and make sure to stay up to date on our Facebook and Twitter.
