If you could buy the Houston Astrodome, what would you do with it?

I was thinking about this earlier.

I would convert the inside into a giant fish aquarium. One you could scuba dive in. Pump in salt water from the Gulf of America. Make a nice coral reef. Variety of fish. Possibly a rentable room or rooms underwater.

Pretty sure I could find something better to spend money on.

I'd nuke Houston from orbit. It's a complete shithole.

I’d turn it into a Texas Live thing. Bunch of bars, restaurants, shops, huge concert area and huge screens all over. It would be the go to pre game place for any event at NRG.

Picture the rodeo beer garden but x100 and indoors. Plus it’s year round so it can be used for any event.

Call it Astrodome Live!

If you’ve been anywhere around it recently, you’d be better off tearing it down. It’s been unkept for years and would require way too much work at this point to make any sort of renovation worth it.

Only concept I’ve seen make sense is to leave the outside frame and roof in tact for history, but gut the damn thing and convert to a parking garage for NRG.

Climb up on top, cut a hole and take a big shite in it.

I’d somehow take the sides off with just roof supported and make the inside a large park and amphitheater area that could be used all year

Rebuild Astroworld’s wooden roller coaster Texas Cyclone inside of gutted Astrodome. Paint it Oiler Blue.

The NRG Center there gets a lot of use, OTC is a massive annual event that many should be familiar with on this board. That entire area needs to be gentrified and quickly since Houston is missing out on some business with the way things are set up now.
