Michael is correct: "On January 27, 2017, the Texas Historical Commission voted unanimously to designate the dome a State Antiquities Landmark. Under the designation, the Astrodome may no longer be removed, altered, damaged, salvaged, or excavated without a permit from the commission." - from Wikipedia
We (city of Houston) voted few times to save it an they failed but city still owed money on it so they refused to tear it down. I was lucky to do some work inside the dome. It's disgusting an run down with homeless an dead bodies. On certain days you can smell the dome from Texans stadium. I voted to save it but at this point it needs to go. Lots of memories there but they missed the opportunity to save it as is.
This guy always pulls stats out of his rear. He’s probably only been to one ballpark in his life and does a google search as it makes up stuff. What a joke. I can’t handle the speaking voice either.
The biggest issue with RFK was the fact you have to get the Federal Government to agree on something.... good luck with that in a timely manner.. The old Astrodome is a landmark... Cleveland is just doing the normal whining about a new stadium because the lease is up.
Facts, you need an arena just for all of the great entertainers from oaktown alone. But oakland alameda cpliseum will probably be torn down once the last bill is paid on it.
I can see the Arco Park ruins from my home and I can confirm it’s been overrun by homeless camps. I went there a couple a months ago just to see and there’s easily 20+ large camps set up in there
We drove past RFK whenever we visited Washington D.C. last year. It was in the process of being demolished and it looked scary like an apocalyptic movie because they were doing it in sections. However, it is a great location for a stadium for city tourists and I don't know why they didn't just rebuild there originally. Also, our Uber driver who was a local said he wanted the team brought back to the actual city.
Gonna miss RFK when it comes down. Say my first Preseason game against the packers in 79 or 80. Getting autographs in the parking lot when players were hanging by their cars drinking beer.
I couldn't DO NOT RECOMMEND CHANNEL fast enough because Imagine not even knowing that the Astrodome is a NATIONAL HISTORIC LANDMARK and thats why it hasnt and WILL NEVER be demolished.
I have a soft spot for the Astrodome. My Dad was a pro soccer player and played at some famous stadiums, but he never played at the Astrodome which I did. Sure, I was only 9 years old, but I did it.
A small sliver of it is now a car dealership, but the rest is vacant. I still remember the thrill of parking at the Astrodome and walking over I-610 on the pedestrian bridge into the park. Landscaping around the dome & the park were eons better than the ugly hellscape of NRG, mismatched parking areas, and vacant lots that now comprise the area.
3:48 and 9:58 Can Neo RFK Stadium be rebuilt for the National Football League’s Washington Commanders(Redskins), Major League Rugby's Old Glory DC, and United Football League's DC Defenders since the original RFK Stadium and FedEx Field gets demolished in 2026-2030?
How does that work?I believe chase arena is almost paying for itself after being privately funded...why did the warriors leave if they had control of the building and revenues generated
Historical landmark? It’s falling apart day by day and is not being used for anything. I would think the inside is totally garbage by now, full of mould etc….
0:47 can the Neo-Astrodome be rebuilt for the Houston Astros next door to NRG Stadium where the Texans, Gamblers and Roughnecks make their home games when the original Astrodome will be blown up in pieces?
Why the Astrodome is protected, one reason. NRG Stadium beside it, and if the Astrodome is demolished, then NRG will be damaged via the debris flying towards it
They have already removed parts of the dome without damage to NRG so this comment is kinda nonsense not to mention there was a vote to tear it down well after NRG stadium was built. NRG stadium does not it fact mean the dome can't be torn down. It's the history an nostalgia of the building we didn't want to see it go. The city government didn't want it torn down because they still owed money on the place an wanted to change it into something to generate money. Now it's a smelly gross eye sore with protected status an is hard to do anything with.
Astrodome is not gunna get demolished because there's a landmark plaque on tha Astrodome site since 2018 and it's been registered as a historic landmark so it's gunna stay around until tha Earth crumbles
Jerry's world/at&t stadium will never, ever get the texas vs oklahoma/red river shootout game in arlington, tx. Longhorns & sooners fans/administrators will NEVER vote to nove it there & away from the state fair/fair park/cotton bowl stadium. Cotton bowl has had renovations & looks beautiful for it's age!! People don't want to drive from dallas to arlington.
Trivia question: Why were the lower bowl seats in RFK orange? Because the San Francisco Giants were all set to move to DC in 1983. -84. I remember it being such a last-minute thing, that there was a big rush to change the 20,000 or so seats to orange in the time frame from the end of the Redskins season - they played home games in January, they went to the Super Bowl in Feb. ‘84, that they didn’t think they could get the seats changed by opening day 1984. But we all know how THAT whole thing ended up- in the shitter. 33 yrs of that man…
Finish your sentences Mr RUclipsr. You said It doesn't make sense to not demolish The Astrodome. Please don't speak for the world. You should add in That it doesn't make sense "to you" and you my friend are ignorant and narrow minded imo.
Astrodome is considered a historical landmark, that's why it hasn't been demolished
Michael is correct:

@@adamspitz4281 I could be wrong, but doesn't 1:16 show the roof to be mostly Translucent?
Only in Louisiana, it's old and out of date no use anymore
Sorry wrong State I met Texas

You'd have a field day covering Eastern European stadiums.
Astrodome is an historic landmark. Thats the main, better yet, only reason that it hasn’t been demolished. They could do something to revive it though
This guy always pulls stats out of his rear. He’s probably only been to one ballpark in his life and does a google search as it makes up stuff. What a joke. I can’t handle the speaking voice either.
The memory of Wrestlemania 17 is enough to keep the Astrodome standing.
That and that banger state championship game from Friday Night Lights...
The biggest issue with RFK was the fact you have to get the Federal Government to agree on something.... good luck with that in a timely manner.. The old Astrodome is a landmark... Cleveland is just doing the normal whining about a new stadium because the lease is up.
The Astrodome has landmark status, the Texans couldn’t demolish it even if they wanted to
Oakland Arena isn't going anywhere. It's making more money now than it did when the Warriors were there.
Facts, you need an arena just for all of the great entertainers from oaktown alone. But oakland alameda cpliseum will probably be torn down once the last bill is paid on it.
Sam Boyd Stadium is another currently abandoned stadium.
Good Ol Sam Boyd. Watching unlv football is actually bearable in a climate controlled Allegiant.
I can see the Arco Park ruins from my home and I can confirm it’s been overrun by homeless camps. I went there a couple a months ago just to see and there’s easily 20+ large camps set up in there
the Astrodome has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places. this makes tareing it down a diffacult propasition
1st large domed stadium
Astrodome is history
RFK is a rust bucket
RFK is wonderful.
Sadly, so is fedex field in landover, md. It is achieving rust bucket status.
@depressedginger could you do one on abandoned nascar tracks?
theres no way the astrodome will be demolished to important to the city of Houston
and it even has a historic landmark plaque
Astrodome had WWF Wrestlemania 17. The greatest one of all time.
This is where we needed the eerie music
DC United played at RFK until Audi Stadium was built for them.
Do a video on the Izod Center former home of the new jersey nets (currently abandoned)
10:49 Cleveland Browns has the Highground with Progressive Field

2:49 This would be a suicide beacon a la Hudson Yards Beehive in NY
I know its a minor league park but cooper stadium in columbus is half abonded and it really needs to go
its half demolished. right now its being used by some truck company to train drivers
Yeah they are never demolishing the Astrodome. Its a historical landmark now.
Oakland coliseum wreaking ball
Yep, whenever the last bill is paid om it.
the astrodome is classified as a historic landmark and nrg stadium is next to it if they did demolish it it would damage nrg stadium
I couldn't DO NOT RECOMMEND CHANNEL fast enough because Imagine not even knowing that the Astrodome is a NATIONAL HISTORIC LANDMARK and thats why it hasnt and WILL NEVER be demolished.
tha Astrodome is a national historic landmark as there's been a landmark plaque there since 2018 so it's not gunna get demolished anytime soon
I have a soft spot for the Astrodome. My Dad was a pro soccer player and played at some famous stadiums, but he never played at the Astrodome which I did. Sure, I was only 9 years old, but I did it.
I went to multiple events at Arco Arena and never knew/noticed there was an abandoned MLB park site right nearby🤣😭
It can't be demolished it's historical Landmark
I don’t imagine the astrodome being in the picture when they show the nrg stadium in the tv transitions
The Astrodome is going to be refurbished and not going to be demolished.
Has the land of Astroworld been developed? The area around NRG has so much abandoned Houston landmarks
A small sliver of it is now a car dealership, but the rest is vacant. I still remember the thrill of parking at the Astrodome and walking over I-610 on the pedestrian bridge into the park. Landscaping around the dome & the park were eons better than the ugly hellscape of NRG, mismatched parking areas, and vacant lots that now comprise the area.
The Astrodome was declared a landmark in Texas so it can't be demolished
Thought magneto destroyed Rfk a long time ago
Can they move some of these stadiums to Brisbane, Australia? We need one for the olympics otherwise we're fkd
What is with you and arena sized magic shows?
3:48 and 9:58
Can Neo RFK Stadium be rebuilt for the National Football League’s Washington Commanders(Redskins), Major League Rugby's Old Glory DC, and United Football League's DC Defenders since the original RFK Stadium and FedEx Field gets demolished in 2026-2030?
RFK,Astrodome,
Oakland Arena has brought in record revenue since the Warriors left for SF. I'd be surprised if it were demolished.
How does that work?I believe chase arena is almost paying for itself after being privately funded...why did the warriors leave if they had control of the building and revenues generated
When are they all leaving??
Partially standing: Akron Rubber Bowl
Hurricane Shelter. It's in Houston. Seen the weather there?
We'll miss RFK.
Historical landmark? It’s falling apart day by day and is not being used for anything. I would think the inside is totally garbage by now, full of mould etc….
yea Astrodome has a landmark plaque there
How many times has this guy done a video on the astrodome and still doesnt clue in that the astrosome cant be demilished 😂😂
0:47 can the Neo-Astrodome be rebuilt for the Houston Astros next door to NRG Stadium where the Texans, Gamblers and Roughnecks make their home games when the original Astrodome will be blown up in pieces?
Roughnecks don't play in NRG they play at Rice
@@stanleyford2575 Some of us don’t do colleges
The Astrodome won't ever be "blown up."
The Astrodome probably never will be destoyed.
because it's been registered as a historic landmark since 2018
The Astrodome should never be demolished. You don’t know what you’re talking about. It can be refurbished.
Rename them "The Washington Redtails" keep fhe colors use a Pilot as a mascot. Win win
Nrg is going to host World Cup games so most likely they are going to demolish within the next year
Cleveland Indians
Washington Redskins
A few different, you’ve done these countless times lol
RFK Stadium continues to provide political strife around here
This guy sounds just like Idk player
Why the Astrodome is protected, one reason. NRG Stadium beside it, and if the Astrodome is demolished, then NRG will be damaged via the debris flying towards it
They imploded the stadium next to Mercedes - Benz stadium in Atlanta and it's facade is glass and no damage.
@@ThomasStevens-lk5ch imploded down, not outward
nope... implosions happen all the time.. they don't EXPLODE the buildings... plus it's a historical landmark
@highstickcreative the main reason why the Astrodome is persevered
They have already removed parts of the dome without damage to NRG so this comment is kinda nonsense not to mention there was a vote to tear it down well after NRG stadium was built. NRG stadium does not it fact mean the dome can't be torn down. It's the history an nostalgia of the building we didn't want to see it go.

at this point when it comes to the artso dome you are the anugas paul of the artso dome if you know you know
FiRsT
I say Astro Dome should be demolished because they are not using it for anything.
Astrodome is not gunna get demolished because there's a landmark plaque on tha Astrodome site since 2018 and it's been registered as a historic landmark so it's gunna stay around until tha Earth crumbles
Future abandoned stadiums - legion field, cotton bowl
Texas vs Oklahoma is going to be played at the Cotton Bowl for many years to come
The Cotton Bowl in Dallas will never be demolished.
