The fence in front of the north end zone, crushed by celebrating Old Dominion University students, was fixed before ODU's next home game. But for Sean Carter, the memory of watching thousands of students rush onto the field at Foreman Field at S.B. Ballard Stadium is one he will always savor.
“Watching the students take down the fence was one of the best moments of my life,” senior safety Sean Carter said, recalling the events of Sept. 22.
It was seconds after previously winless ODU knocked off No. 13 Virginia Tech 49-35 in one of the biggest college football upsets ever.
