    The EAST Gate has seen better days - most of the Dome has, it was kind of sad.

    Inside shot. Those prop banners were hung for the filming of "Friday Night Lights" and just never came down.

    Wow I just had flashbacks to being a kid and going to see the Stros. I really hope they can save the Astrodome. Its an architectectural and engineering marvel that should be preserved.

    Old locker room - Astros, I think.

    [​IMG]

    Workout room. Dripping water gave the place a musty smell.

    [​IMG]

    Jacuzzi.

    You can see where the old logo used to be on the door.

    Sign in the locker room. I have a wallpaper of it, but i'll come back to it.

    The Bull tunnel the Texans use. No more inflatable one.

    Down by the Bullpen - UH Clear Lake Graduation will happen on the other side.

    Catwalk at the 50 Yard Line. Lots of cigarette butts.
