It’s still a dome, just of better quality than before.
It looks like a dome, but it's a fixed roof. The Carrier Dome roof used to be held up with only air pressure.

on 2/22/21 at 9:57 pm to red sox fan 13For me, the RCA Dome and EJ Dome are the ones that are sort of blah. The Kingdome had its own look to it, and I saw some games there so I’ll always remember the place. Can never forget the Astrodome. The Metrodome had some great moments with the Twins and that trash bag in RF. GeorgiaDome I’ll always associate with a Cowboys SB win and some great LSU moments.
And for whoever added Tiger Stadium in Detroit. It’s a damn shame that place was let go by ownership. For such an historic city, you’d think they would have tried to keep that place going.

44,000+ on hand to watch the Pistons beat the Lakers in Game 5 must been a sight to see in the Silverdome.
Spurs-Knicks Finals in ‘99 had crowds pushing 40,000 in the Alamodome. Was awesome.

on 2/22/21 at 10:08 pm to red sox fan 13After LSU played Wisconsin in Houston a few years ago we broke into the Astrodome and went exploring, by broke in I mean walked up to one of the entrances and opened the unlocked door.
One of the locker rooms still had plays from filming Friday Night Lights there.

Hard to believe the Superdome outlasted them all. What are some of your favorite old sports venues?
Not really.
Those other domes were antiquated and those other cities/states actually had the money to build a better and more modern facility.
New Orleans keeps throwing money at the dump every 10 years or so and its still a dump.
Just raze the place and build a new facility.

on 2/23/21 at 12:31 am to Draconian SanctionsThe acoustics at the Pyramid were godawful.
Upper section was far too steep, and just too large of a venue in general.
The Forum turns 17 years old this summer, and it hasn't aged a bit. We were fortunate to leave the Pyramid behind.

on 2/23/21 at 1:10 am to AlonsoWDCMemphis has an interesting basketball history. You had the ABA in the Mid-South Coliseum. I saw that place sitting near the Liberty Bowl about 10 years ago while driving through. Tried to get in, but doors were locked.
The Pyramid was sitting empty around the same time. When I drove by and wandered around, I was fascinated that someone thought the location right along the river with little parking would be a good idea.
I strolled by the Forum too. I’d like to see a game there when it’s rocking. Between the Grizz, Tigers, Sounds/Tams, you have several years of solid hoops history.

What are you talking about?
Also am I the only person who didn’t know the Pistons don’t play at the Palace of Auburn Hills anymore? Shows how much I pay attention to the N.B.A.

on 2/23/21 at 3:41 am to TigerintheNOIt's surprising that the roof of the Metrodome lasted that long before collapsing. It's also just as surprising the architects didn't build it with a sturdier roof with all the snowfall Minneapolis gets.

on 2/23/21 at 3:59 am to SCLibertarianI loved the overhanging upper deck and the flag pole in play of Tiger Stadium. Is that a press box right above 1B in the 2nd picture?

They're forgotten for a reason. 70s was the shittiest decade for building sports stadiums.
Everything was multipurpose, plastic, carpet sold as grass...football and baseball weren't meant to be played on the Brady Bunch's backyard.

Not really. EJ Dome does not hold up and owners probably think it’s a saturated market. Plus St Louis isn’t going to want a new stadium after Kroenke ripped them off.
Considering St. Louis is taking stan and the NFL to the woodshed I’d be shocked if we’re ever allowed to even see an NFL team
