    Firefighters put out blaze under the Astrodome... what kind of strange underworld labyrinth exists there?

    Ahhhh, thankfully it was really nothing at all.

    Honestly, I got really concerned. Never really cared much for the place until the thought of losing it to a fire crossed my mind. So many memories made there.

    Hopefully this humoresque some sort of redevelopment. The place needs to be saved. C'mon Houston, don't turn your back on your own history.

    I'm sensing that this will be made into a Dan Brown thriller.

    It's a sign, and the sign says "Get rid of that POS waste of tax dollars".

    Why would the Astrodome Catacombs suddenly burst into flame?

    He feeds on astros fans hopes and dreams, but since they're hopeless he's losing his power.

    Why couldn't this fire have started right before Montana hit Willie Davis for the go ahead score in 94.

    I could have sworn the roof was on fire back in 1984.

    He needs to develop a taste for rat & stray cat, because there were gajillions of them in the bowels of the dome when it was in use, no telling what it's like down there now. New predatory life forms may have evolved in the oozy muck of stale beer, sweat, tobacco spit and livestock excrement in order to control their populations.
