    It'll be worth it if they say yes. Hell, I'll take my own tools like pick-a-part and remove it myself!

    I'm guessing you should just show up, walk in, and try to take what you want.

    Take off the lid and turn it into a giant park/skate park/amphitheater (or AOTA).

    Whatever is done, the roof needs to be saved. It is Houston.

    So they paid $500,000 to a company to tell them their choices were either use it for something or demolish it?

    Government HAD to be involved in this. LOL

    I can't wait for the $100,000 survey of why it would cost the city $80,000,000 to demolish the Dome.

    Take that land and build a couple of medical and dental schools for U of H and TSU, not everyone should have to go to the Bahamas.

    I still say the best thing to do is completely clear out the inside of it, leave the entrance ramps, build new ramps and expand some of the upper floors, and turn it into preferred parking for Reliant Stadium.
