Minnesotans Arrested In Kinnick After Stealing Baseball Equipment

Maybe we could replace the stolen bats with torpedo bats. :)

@99topdawg This is no shit...I had a parent of a middle school kid come up to me at a track meet a couple days ago and ask me if anybody made aluminum torpedo bats. They were looking to buy one if so.
 
I was there. Way up top watching in awe and curiosity. Those rotunda doors made it tough.
It still dumbfounds me how no one stopped the fans from doing this. I know the Goofers program was a joke back then, but could they only afford to hire an off duty Barney Fife for security for their home games? Didn't the Vikings require some competent security?

Geez...reckless homicide? Can you imagine the ball speed coming off one of those?

It was likely college age and mid 50s, overweight rent-a-cops plus maybe 2-3 actual police officers. At the level of staffing the only way you're gonna stop the horde is with gun fire and I doubt they thought it was worth it. Only so many tasers to go around.

And if I remember right Iowa paid for the repairs, so I guess it was all good.

I cannot think of another situation where the road team stormed the field or the court. Anyone?

Georgia rushed Auburn’s field in the 80s I remember for some reason. Auburn was pissed and turned the sprinklers on to get them off it. UGA students/fans ripped up their field pretty bad.
 
Think you gonna steal my baseball bats, Bro
