How much money has been spent to come up with far-fetched ideas for the Astrodome?

I've got an idea.....

Quarter billion dolla project and the renderings were done with a ****ing crayon, and a whopping 75 people were surveyed. Smart.

Sell it to Tillman Fertitta and let him turn it into a ****ty restaurant and casino.

Thought the exact same thing. Looks like they're straight out of a Curious George book.

As long as there's a blue ferris wheel.

Looks like from the renderings it'll be red!

Who told these planners/developers that there was some big interest in a western heritage type museum? Every plan seems to have that.

Outside of the three rodeo weeks a year I don't think anybody really ever gives a hoot about the different breeds of horses found in Texas.

After walking the grounds during cookoff, it is apparent that the cookoff and rodeo would be significantly improved by removing the dome entirely. It's a big, ugly eyesore that seriously needs to go so that Reliant Park can be completely modernized.

It seems like every year a group of drunks break into the done, take pics, then a new rendering emerges. Wash, lather, rinse, repeat.
Blow it up already because this is comical at this point.

Perhaps, friend. But as for me, I get my boots at...duh duh...Boot Town.

All these proposals are crap, unless someone does something before the year is out the dome is going to be a giant parking lot just in time for the Superbowl in '17.

Turn it I to a parking lot. I have some chairs from the dome. I get it. Spent my childhood there, but I would rather Astroworld back than the dome. And after paying $20 bucks to park in the same county as the rodeo I would prefer a garage there than an eyesore

13 years after Reliant Stadium opened, a new rendering that was drawn by crayons in 1965 is released detailing a plan that will never happen.

I see that the drawings have all white people in them but something makes me want to think that things would be vastly different

Is it just me or does the plane in this pic look like it just bombed the Dome and is a getting away? Looks like an explosion on the crest of the Dome.

If we bomb the Dome, then I am all for this plan.

It's like one of those Highlights for Children drawings:

-- Naturally, the plane bombing the Dome.

-- You've got two people playing catch, but the receiver is running towards the passer while looking the other way. Meanwhile, a bear running on its hind legs is about to run between them.

-- The longhorn statue on the left has lopsided horns.

-- The Man in the Yellow Hat is now wearing a trilby, and is cheerfully accepting a copy of The Watchtower from a dwarf Jehovah's Witness who is wearing his Astros cap backwards.

Just another day in the tine.

Leave it and let it become one with the land over time. The Dome is what put Houston on the map. It made us who we are today. We are a much greater city for it. The fact that so many want it torn down is simply a sign of liberalism run amonk and the instant-gratification entitlement society we now live in.

If you are not going to demolish it then why not gut it, make sure it gets back up to code, and then just use it as an event center....I am sure rodeo could use it during their season and so can other business conferences, sporting events, etc....

It would be cheaper to demo and the build new than try to bring that POS up to code.

I vote for one giant escape room. Make it a game show like atmosphere and 10 people have 3 days to escape, except the first out wins and everyone has tazers.
