Throwback Thursday: Astrodome

Astrodome
    Took this photo most likely in 1994. The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo was in town, and I was apparently on the Ferris wheel at the time. I love the Dome. Opened in 1965, home to the Houston Astros baseball and Oilers football teams. I went to so many Astros games that I didn't know what it was like to watch a professional baseball game outdoors! It wasn't until I saw a game in Tiger Stadium in Detroit in 1999 that I experienced pro ball the way most people know it! I pray that they never tear the Dome down. It was the first of its kind and deserves to be preserved.
