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

Those Muslims aren't very devout

Ok picture this:

You gut out the interior and create a circular, multi-level parking garage. However all of the spaces that are along the interior circle face a large open area. Here you can have people tailgate with their trucks, under shade, to face a 360° screen that could broadcast games and function as a drive-in movie theater.

Do you even Brewster McCloud, bro?

Demolish it.

Raise shrimp.

With historical protections in place and the owners failing to drive any concrete plans for redevelopment, this situation won’t change.

Other entities are putting forth redevelopment plans every few years that end up going nowhere.

Unfortunately, the building served its purpose. I lived there as a kid and went to many Astros and Oilers games with great memories but this building just doesn’t seem capable of coming back short of a solid, actionable redevelopment plan.

Just think of the larger cousin in New Orleans when that building faces the same ultimate end. I wonder if Gayle and Tom’s charitable trust will be used to build a new Riverfront stadium when the team is sold to a new ownership group and wants a new stadium.


We can call the project Tom and Gayle Benson Stadium at Caesars Field or vice versa. It will be built in Algiers and we will bring back the MART to get people from downtown to the stadium.
