Got time for a snickers bar? Southwests, want to get away? Those commercial's ran thru my head when I heard this story. “SKY DIVERS LAND IN WRONG STADIUM”….I wonder what the two sky divers thought when the closer they arrived to the field the more and more it looked like this stadium might not be the correct stadium. RALEIGH, N.C. - Duke and James Madison were warming up prior to kickoff when two men unexpectedly parachuted into Wallace Wade Stadium with the game ball.
The men didn't hit any of the players on the field. They just hit the wrong field.
The News & Observer of Raleigh reports that the parachutists were supposed to land at North Carolina's season-opening game, eight miles away.
UNC assistant athletic director Michael Beale said the jumpers from Virginia-based Aerial Adventures canceled the leap into Keenan Stadium because of bad weather.
When the weather cleared, the pilot saw a stadium and the skydivers jumped. It was when they landed that they realized they missed their mark. The two men scrambled off the field with the game ball, and UNC associate athletic director Rick Steinbacher called Duke Officials to apologize. Oh well sometimes you feel like just having a snickers bar…
How was your weekend? Mine was good. So on that note I will wish you a good morning and a fabulous day.
A huge hug and many pats
Mart
