fans that caught cat with American flag at Miami football game
During a Saturday night game in Sep 2021 between the University of Miami and Appalachian State, things turned weird when fans spotted a cat that was dangling from the upper deck of Hard Rock Stadium.
Dramatic viral videos show fans below positioning themselves about 50 feet below the cat holding an American flag as the cat holds on for dear life.
The Miami couple who helped save a cat by using their American flag as a safety net bring the flag to every Hurricanes’ home game they attend there.
“My wife takes the U.S. flag with us to all of our football games, and we normally Zip-tie it to the handrail, and so we snatched it off the handrail and used it to break the cat’s fall,” Craig Cromer said.
“We looked up, and you could see the butt of an animal,” Kimberly Cromer said. “Really, our only choice was to either try to catch the animal, or it was going to fall on us.”
After the catch of the game, one fan then holds the cat up in the air like it is Simba from “The Lion King” causing other fans in the stadium to go wild. The cat appeared to be ok.
Kimberly said she was happy to be in the right place at the right time, “I wouldn’t consider myself a hero. I think anybody sitting in that seat would have done it.”
