Lina Hidalgo is so crooked, if she swallowed a nail she'd sh*t out a screw

It won't.

The majority of the population are too young to understand what the dome used to mean to the city and county, and many of the older population just no longer cares.
Dude, when they auctioned off seats and parts of the scoreboard, it was a madhouse. People want parts of the dome and absolutely still do care.

Lina won in 18 by 19k votes.

The different in straight ticket was 105k votes.

Beto is the only reason she won.
That....and Ed Emmett ran a terrible campaign.
He did.....by not even running a fuggin campaign.

In 2015. Eight years ago. 4000 of 6000 seats went quickly.

People have lost interest.

That's what letting a piece of history rot for 20 years will do -- dwindle away what's left of the F's that people give.

wanting a piece of discarded stadium memorabilia does not mean people want Harris County to repurpose a derelict rat hole.

If that's the case, they should gather the names of those people and let them split the bill for the Dome's continuing upkeep.

I just thought of a new moneymaking activity for the Dome. Kind of like a Navy Seal Fantasy Camp or "Bug Hunt" Aliens simulator. Send in a "squad" of you and your buddies with night vision and .22s to sweep for rats.

Would be great bachelor party activity before hitting the scrip clubs.

You do realize there is a bit of difference in wanting to pay for memorabelia versus maintaining a building that needs to be blow up, right?

I never said nor implied that to any degree at all, not sure where you are going with this garbage here.

Might want to go read what I responded to before jumping to conclusions.

Whatever you say....this thread kinda says different.

100% if they start auctioning off things, people will buy them. But whatever.

I'd be willing to bet that the Venn Diagram of those two options would have significant overlap.

I agree the Dome was a big part of Ed's downfall. However, why hasn't Lina done anything about it?
