    Pretty ridiculous that they can get 5-10K people lined up on a saturday morning to spend decent $$$ for Astrodome memorabilia.

    Brother in law went and said he stayed in line for 3 hours only to get to the front of the line and then be told they ran out of turf for sale. Lot of unhappy campers.

    He did hustle and get one for himself though at the end of it.

    Said the line was wrapped all the way around the building.

    All I can say to this is: your BIL didn't hustle and find out what he was waiting for.

    Saw a baby get dropped into one the last time I visited the Astrodome. McNair got to come off the bench and play that day. Good day.

    Are these things sanitary? I remember my first visit to the dome and having to pee on that.
