NFL Domes and Other Forgotten Sports VenuesPosted by red sox fan 13

0The other day I came across a Youtube channel called Forgotten Places, and the guy talked about the Seattle Kingdome. I had kind of forgotten about the Kingdome and how it was a dual use stadium. This encouraged me to revisit some other old NFL domes from back in the day. These are some forgotten domes I remember from not so long ago.
Seattle Kingdome:
Astrodome:
RCA Dome:
Metrodome:
Edward Jones Dome:
Georgia Dome:
Pontiac Silverdome:
Hard to believe the Superdome outlasted them all. What are some of your favorite old sports venues?

on 2/22/21 at 1:16 pm to red sox fan 13I remember the Silverdome more for Pistons games than Lions games. Tickets would be like a buck for some games. The place was rocking when they started to get good in the late '80's before they moved to the Palace.
Lions games were usually a bloodbath of fights in the upper deck. It was probably smart to go down to 65,000 capacity when they built Ford Field.

I'm surprised they put bleachers in the upper deck.

These thing were all the rage for a while.
I think Oakland was the last of them though before the Raiders moved.

Pretty amazing to me St. Louis doesn't have a team yet.
When the Browns left for Baltimore, the NFL shat itself and almost immediately granted a new franchise retaining the Browns name.
St. Louis is a larger media market and cannot get a whiff at another team.

The Edward Jones dome is still open and being used in St. Louis.
Home of the Battlehawks. Coming back in 2022.
