The Georgia Dome is set to be imploded on Monday, and there’s one Atlanta Falcons player who has played many big games in his career there. Not just in the NFL.
Star wide receiver Julio Jones said this week that his favorite memory about the facility is not as an NFL player, but when he played his first game there with Alabama in 2008.
“I’ve got a lot of stories,” Jones said to reporters. “That was just my first time playing in it, so why not be your best moment and greatest moment is my first time playing in the Dome, and I got a W.”
Alabama won 34-10 as John Parker Wilson passed for two touchdowns and ran for a score. The Alabama defense held Clemson to zero net rushing yards as running backs James Davis and C.J. Spiller combined for 20 yards.
Jones had four catches for 28 yards and a touchdown.
