Some concerts, but never a sporting event. It was the first multi-sport domed arena ever built. I can remember when it was hailed “The 8th wonder of the World. No one in the general public is allowed inside now. The last I heard, Harris County was considering selling it to movie makers I would like to see it preserved for its historic significance if nothing else. Performers from Elvis to Metallica performed on Astrodome stages. Not to mention, the political and sporting events held there. What would Houston have done with all the refugees that poured in during Katrina, if they hadn’t had the Astrodome? This was either one very calm or one very hungry bumble bee. Bumbles are less aggressive than honeybees, but the camera was inches from her. Nadi says bees will raise one of their middle legs when agitated and this little lady isn’t even doing that. |
