The Astrodome is sad just sitting there. The exterior ramps were demolished but for some reason nothing else was done. I'd like to go watch the implosion if it ever happens

What happened to the "parking garage" idea?

The big issues as I understand them are:

1) No one wants to pay the cost of demolition

2) The bonds haven't been paid off. They refinanced the bonds a number of years ago to fund improvements for the Oilers, who still left anyways.

3) The preservation have been locked in on not tearing it down.

It was really quite sad to go to Rodeo and see it just sitting there. I haven't been there since I moved to NOLA three years ago, so I imagine it looks even worse now.
