Haha!!! Best laugh all day! It looked like the Superdome and it had mountains in the background. Haha!!!
I remember watching this as a kid with my dad. When we saw that shot of the Astrodome, we both looked at each other like "what the hell? That ain't the Astrodome!"
Hmm I didn't remember that one. It was filmed in 1970 and I'm a 77 baby. YouTubed a couple clips and seems like a crazy movie.
If they can get the gaming licenses and check that the NFL wouldn't balk due to proximity, they could try to make some kind of South Fannin gaming and hotel district.
Call in the pickers. Time to let it go. Never been in it. But I remember when going to reliant for the Texans game how much reliant dwarfed it. Crazy. All good things must come to an end. It's definitely historic, but to keep something like that alive people must come and handover money. And I don't see it. There's no real draw because all of the new stadiums are so much better, and feel older too. If you could sink it and scuba through it probably pretty cool. Outside of that I think this is one piece of history that has met it's demise.
a couple of years back i was looking at teenage mutant ninja turtles cartoons for my nephew on youtube.. the turtles were looking for the technodrome and donatello said " we cant miss it, its 10x the size of the Houston Astrodome" ive tried looking for the clip but i cant find it maybe someone can dig it up..
It is Houston, history is irrelevant, it will be torn down. I personally think repurposing it would be the way to go, but I am not optimistic.
****ing Astrodome looks like the Super dome placed in Arizona. Yeah, it's so historic people can't even remember what it looks like. I bet if you placed a picture of all the domes in the U.S. and asked people from around the world that AREN'T from Texas they'd guess 80% of the time.
