🏟️ Bring the Astrodome Back to Life – Let’s Restore It to Game-Ready Glory
Hey fellow Houstonians (and sports fans everywhere),
The Astrodome—once called the Eighth Wonder of the World—is just sitting there, empty, decaying, and waiting for a second chance. We all know the memories: Astros games, Oilers, Rodeo Houston, and unforgettable concerts. Now imagine it reborn, not as another mall or convention center, but as a game-ready venue that honors its past while inspiring the future.
🛑 Why Now? • Harris County is actively studying its future again. • A full-scale revitalization would cost ~$850M to $1B. • That’s a big number—but so was building the Dome in 1965. • Tax incentives, private partnerships, and a unified public voice could make this possible.
💡 The Vision:
Let’s push for a bold reuse: • Game-ready stadium for MLB, college sports, esports, or special events • Powered by green energy • Includes a museum of Houston sports & Dome history • Serves as a community hub, not a corporate cash grab
