Enjoyed lunch yesterday at The Whistlestop Cafe in Livingston and came across these mezzanine seats from the Astrodome.
I have a lot of great memories from the Dome but most involve cheaper seats than these!

I got my sketch of the Astrodome scanned and started editing it last night. I'm eventually going to print it on cardstock and add more of the detail such as adding color.

Here's an update on my sketch of the Astrodome in Houston. The second picture is with the backdrop of a picture of the Texas Cyclone, a roller coaster at the former Six Flags Astroworld.

Started this sketch of the #Astrodome yesterday during downtime at my job at an Amazon Fulfillment Center. This is the same notebook to write down when I go to bathroom to cover my ass.

⚾️April 9, 1965—The #Houston #Astrodome, the world’s first domed stadium, opens to the public with a sold-out exhibition game between the Houston Astros and the NY Yankees. It is the first indoor #baseball game ever played. The Astros prevail 2-1.

It's pretty rad that Mantle got the first HR in the Astrodome

Black-and-white aerial photo of the Houston Astrodome shortly after its opening in 1965, surrounded by a packed parking lot and the Houston skyline visible in the distance. A large, striped-roof structure is seen adjacent to the dome.
OTD in 1965: The Astrodome opened as the “Eighth Wonder of the World.”
Today? Just vibing in a parking lot like, “Y’all still remember me?”
No games. Just memories and mildew.😖

Idea for new #Texans stadium that addresses the Astrodome question
If Seattle can salvage the roof of Key Arena & build a whole new arena underneath (Climate Pledge Arena), could the same be done with the #Astrodome?

NRG Park leadership wants to replace NRG Arena & add mixed use development. They can achieve both within the #Astrodome.
1. Build a replacement NRG Arena in the interior (like London’s 02 Arena inside Millennium Dome)
2. Build mixed use along the Dome walls

The #astrodomeconservancy will be announcing tomorrow at 1030 AM CST the proposed plan for the #astrodome.
There are so many options and I hope the Houston community will be better by it.
I have done memories of the Dome. There is so much life to it still.
