The Astrodome was the first place to ever have indoor baseball, and the first MLB stadium to use artificial turf. In its time, it was a new innovation. You have to understand what the Astrodome represents.
Right now it represents rats and mold from what I hear.
Lol, I love the reactions the conservatives are displaying here. You guys do realize that for all the growth that Texas is having that you are boasting about, makes the reality of Texas going back to blue all that more possible? Be careful what you wish for. What do you think happened to Virginia, North Carolina, and Florida? The same exact thing. They were deep red states post LBJ, then they had economic and residential booms that flipped them to purple and slightly blue and they are getting bluer every election cycle

To YOU it does. When I look at it, I see a part of Houston history that was striving to be the city of the future. After Houston tried indoor baseball, Seattle and Montreal did it next.
I have a question. Do you hate the Astrodome that much?
I'm still laughing at the OP and his claims that a city with 2million is any where close to the biggest population. Metro NYC has ~20 million while LA metro has ~15 million.
Let us know when Houston gets ten times bigger, son.
No, Houston won't pass LA or NY. I'd be surprised if it passes Chicago by 2020.
