Entertainers Stop in Bull Country Because of USF's geographical location, being located in the middle of the state, the Sun Dome was host to many entertainers this school year. Many of the concert goers were USF students. Gloria Estefan and the Miami Sound Machine, U2, Jimmy Buffett, BIG and Def Leppard were just a few who showed their talents at the Dome. Iron Maiden, Tesla, Guns and Roses and others played at concert halls close to USF, where many students were able to travel to see their favorite performers. The Sun Dome also featured our very own Bulls in competition against other colleges on the basketball court. Professional wres- tlers and boxers also used the Sun Dome as a place to set up their rings and do battle. Many of the individual colleges held lectures with famous guest speakers. The College of Social and Behavioral Science was one such, who sponsored Tip O'Neill with his lecture series about his new book titled, 'Man of the House. Ronny James Dio entertained a large crowd at the Sun Dome. Mr. Universe was a guest on Sportsweekt Tip O'Neill gave a warm embrace to an adoring fan after it his speaking engagement at USF. 16 Entertainers stop at USF
