    I remember watching my first Astros game here on a school trip back in the 1970's.

    Really well done. I appreciated the fact that they gave the '80 series as much coverage at the '86 (though, both are still painful). I think that '80 series is often overlooked.

    Watched this last night. The story they missed telling about the end was the preseason game the Oilers cancelled the day of the game because they said the surface was terrible...that was the beginning of the end. It kinda skipped over the leadup to their departure and just said, "yeah, then the Oilers left..." To me, that's a critical part of the end of the Dome. That and the removal of the scoreboard to accommodate Bud Adams deserved a little time.

    But overall, I loved watching this...was great to show my sons.

    Watched this last night. Very well done. I really enjoyed it.

    Until last night, it never really hit me how disrespectful (not sure that's the right word or not) it was to build NRG right next to the Dome. I guess they didn't really have a choice, but couldn't they have built it where Astroworld used to be? It used to look so imposing...now it just looks like a gigantic outhouse. :(
