MIAMI GARDENS, Fla .– Saturday’s most notable catch in No.22 Miami’s game against Appalachian State didn’t even happen on the field.
It wasn’t even a soccer ball. It was a cat.
The cat somehow entered Hard Rock Stadium, then got caught by one of its paws on the front of the upper deck. He eventually fell to the lower level of the stadium, where fans using an American flag as a makeshift net were able to safely catch him before he was whisked away to safety.
“They were trying to grab it from above and they couldn’t reach it but they scared it from the bottom,” said Craig Cromer, director of facilities at the University of Miami and a subscription holder that , along with his wife Kimberly, brings the flag to every home game. “He just stood there for a little while with his two front paws, then one paw, and then I was like, ‘Oh my God, it’s coming soon.'”
That’s when the Cromers took down the flag from the fasteners they use to hold it on a railing and hoped for the best. The petrified cat fell, bounced off the flag a bit, and was eventually secured in the nearby student section before being taken away by stadium security.
The cat showed no signs of injury. The Cromers, other than a spilled drink and sprayed by the hanging cat, were doing fine.
“The strangest thing that has ever happened in a game,” said Kimberly Cromer.
