I used to be one of those people that wanted them to do something with it. But just looking at it from the outside makes me sad now and I changed my mind and want them to just tear it down.

Everyone knows that it needs to/will be torn down...just the powers that be refuse to admit it. $3MM/ year going down the drain for that s-hole?

Implode it and open up some parking spaces.

Also, if that was me that went in, there is a 0% chance I'd walk out of there without those two signs.

There's no answer for that thing that isn't unbearably expensive. So it sits.

From the comments:

"Cool as those Astros and Oilers signs are, they’re actually props from the 2004 movie version of “Friday Night Lights.”

Went on my first date there to see Clint Black at the rodeo. Did not even get a kiss goodnight. I would push the plunger myself.

dude really, what?? is it well konwn on here that some of our fondest memories of the dome are sidling up to the beloved troughs hoping to be the one to contribute that last little bit of pee to send it cascading over the edge upon all the others relieving thier Dome Foam urges.

thats a stock urinal trough pic, not specifically the dome, but you get the idea.

The ones in the pic look like a rolls royce compared to the Kyle ones.

As a young child, I once witnessed a Peter Dinklage look-alike rest his hawg on the front lip of one of those troughs while evacuating his bladder. #innocence_lost

That KHOU article was interesting. Someone tore up the old Astros clubhouse however they found a drink ticket dated 2/25/12 in there. Some drunk from the BBQ cookoff I guess.

I would love to sneak in and walk around however I wouldn't tear the place up.

I think we should go get some spadilly. It would be pretty easy with some sockets. The toughest thing would be fighting the cats and rats

Can't, too close to Reliant. The explosion would damage the foundation. The only option for demolition is piece by piece, which is very expensive.

I've never been in the men's room at the Dome and I recognized the troughs.

I guess if I win the lotto, I'll buy the dome and live in it like a boss.

How is it then that they have imploded old stadiums all over the country right next to brand new ones?
