Parachuting into the stadium

[CardLaw]

We have all seen game balls delivered by parachute pregame. Last year, someone somewhere provided me with a link to a jump into Bryant-Denny stadium prior to the Alabama-Mississippi State game. It's pretty cool.



But the second is even better. I stumbled upon it. Whereas the Alabama jump the jumper had the center field logo to shoot at (no pun intended), in this next one into Michigan stadium, the band was kind of in the way. So, they had to give him another target - significantly smaller. Same result.



In both cases, you want the sound on. You can hear the crowd when the jumper is within a few hundred feet of the top of the stadium.

Enjoy!

This is me not caring.

Of course you care. We all care. I remember the Cardinal Bird parachuting in to the stadium. We all really miss that.

Oh you mean like last year at the Miami game? It's only been a year. He will probably do it again today.

Great footage. I would not have seen any of it on my own. Thanks to you and Cardinals4Ever for sharing.
