    I think you meant the House of Asbestos and fire code violations.

    The turf was in crap shape when the Oilers left town. It hasn't been replaced since. It is not NFL ready...

    Well, that and it was condemned recently.

    can't keep it,...can't blow it up...It won't go away...It's like Hitler's secret bunker in the fact we want to forget about it, but it is still there, no matter what we may do...

    We seriously need to demolish it already. Like the hotel/amusement park idea will ever happen.

    I would love to see it happen...but there is a 0% chance that it will.

    I read somewhere that it costs more to demolish than it does to sit there and do nothing. Go figure.

    i think it would benefit everyone if the next storm would take care of it for us.

    nobody can agree what to do with the dome, so it sits there and only becomes more decrepit.

    gone are these days.

    We have another stadium in town that has already hosted a Super Bowl. Yes, it's historic Rice Stadium
