Inside the Relinat Houston Astrodome in 2011.

[@her444]

Selena was the only one who filled up tht astrodome back in 1995

[@WELOVEUSELENA]

SELENA'S LAST CONCERT WAS HERE!!!! :(

[@imperialscot]

You need to try and go back sometime soon. Great video for what you were able to shoot. I was able to walk around Wrigley Field in Chicago in the dead of Winter via an "Unlocked gate" :-)

[@Badmoon_risin]

I still remember going to Astros games and the beloved Big Blue games.... I miss watching Stabler and Jerry Glanville on the sidelines. Still to this day people ask me who's my team and my reply is the Oilers haha. Good video man, shame its not being used. Love Ya Blue!!!

[@FinSituation]

This seems like such an amazing arena. Can't believe it's vacant and abandoned. Don't demolish it, its a fucking beauty.

[@MrAquarius2493]

They should just give it to U of H and TSU for their home stadium. The Astrodome is still useful it just needs repairing. Of course it's gonna cost a shitload of money but it's better than building a whole new stadium for U of H and TSU because that will cost like billions of dollars and building a whole new stadium for the two colleges is wasting money that could be saved in opinion.

[@justinroark88]

The seats were on a track, similar to a train track. They were adjusted to fit the needs of the baseball diamond as well as the gridiron used for the football setup. The turf was the same for football/baseball.

[@MasonsInquiries]

Loved my visit to this place....

[@micmac99]

I live here in Houston (only been here a year) and everyone says the security there is tight, the building is basically no longer up to code and needs millions in renovations just to make it habitable. They need to do it - too many rumors of a possible tear down or implosion in the near future. This building is a national treasure.

[@EmanArana]

Thats so sad. I have never been inside it, but I'm mad that this stadium is not been used anymore. I hope they bring it back.

[@camr0408]

Home plate is actually on the far left of the video. You can see where the dirt were on the concrete floor along with the rail system that the first level seats were located on.

[@treyk6]

This place brings my dad's best days back to him. I was only a little kid when I first went to the Astrodome. My dad (born in Ohio but lived in Houston from 1970-2000) went to so many Astros games and always went to Oilers vs Browns games in the Astrodome. Also went to a USFL game in there. I asked him what the experience was like and he said back then it was beyond amazing. Of course today you see how better technology is then it was in the Astrodome, but the Astrodome started a big move in technology with the first animated screen. Always wanted to see the Astrodome now for myself since I couldn't remember what it was like then. I now live in Ohio but still visit Houston about once a month for work reasons, and I hope to use this guys method of walking through an unlocked gate unless they hold tours or something else. Also hoped UH and/or TSU would have renovated the Astrodome instead of creating TDECU stadium, it still looks like a useful place for sports. Almost thought that if the Houston Dynamo didn't get BBVA that they would have moved to the Astrodome, kind of like DC United in RFK (for now until DC United Stadium is built). The only thing I could see of it now is if it is still used for storage, used as a museum because of its history, or if they decide to reduce it to rubble (demolish it).

[@gigem2996]

During the rodeo this year, a couple of friends and I snuck into the dome for a couple of hours and saw everything. From the roof to the locker rooms...everything. Here are a couple of notes i found: It is very dirty: everything was covered in dust. Still names on the lockers: I saw a locker with Art Howe's name on it. Storage room for baseball: Still has many things in it. Old on-deck mats, batting helmets, pitching machines, baseball, all sorts of stuff. Very trashy: beer cans, peanut bags

[@freshstart349]

seeing the dome riding up in the car to games was always so special I was so excited, 8th wonder of the world

[@amadisgonzalez3584]

so queit....now think what is was like when selena was performing....ahhh amazing....R.I.P TEJANO QUEEN🔥😍💘👑👑OUR BEAUTIFUL ANGEL

[@RageTVHTX]

The Mezzanine level seats had wheels and sat on a rail so the could be positioned for football or baseball games. There was only one turf and it was used for both baseball and football. I remember going to Astros games and you could see faint lines from the football field where they removed them for baseball games and also during Oiler games there were times when there was still dirt where the bases were where it hadnt been removed completely but didnt interfere with the field

[@murany06]

@BugattiVeyron4514 they had turf for both, which is where the term "astroturf" came from because it was the first stadium to use it. The field was changed by moving the field level seats which were on a rail system like railroad tracks

[@915supermario]

As a astro texans and former oiler fan I would love to go there my self and have a tour of the place.

[@evilkid31able]

former home to the astros and oilers, selena held her last concert there, held wrestlemania 17 (the best!!) there, alot of history

[@amadisgonzalez3584]

😲...omg selena performed there I miss her

[@kenamaro3942]

Amadis Gonzalez Earl Campbell preformed there as well.... many, many times.

[@quasarmcoc]

Home of Wrestlemania X-Seven

[@faithsky734]

I wish I was there in the front row I would have the time of my life

[@mrdjking26]

I remember hearing chyna’s music hit and everyone going crazy !

[@RaginRonic]

What ended up as the final night of both the Attitude Era and Monday Night War. Though WCW was in possession by WWF(WWE) hands on March 23, 2001, this event pretty well was the true symbolic end to those eras, and both ended with the single-greatest night in their histories. =P

[@bobbysolorio1904]

The Home for Wrestlemania 17! The Rock VS Steve Austin. Good Times.

[@RCColer]

@BugattiVeyron4514 I don't know what you would call them, but they had "rolling" machines that would roll up the different turfs for either baseball or football then store them under the stands.

[@WELOVEUSELENA]

JUST 2 KNOW DAT SELENA WAS HERE IZ JUST AMAZING!!!!

[@Mayrita1111]

I just hope they don't tear it down, I want to have a chance to go inside even if is only an empty old place, besides is Houston's leyend.

[@johnathanalonso5397]

Here is where selena performed

[@faithsky734]

here's also where the greatest wrestlemania was held

[@kenamaro3942]

Heres where Earl Campbell preformed...

[@BaseballDaysofYore]

they should seriously play a retro series there at some point. intead of just turn back the clock uniforms, set up the dome and let the fans go back in time for a series. or even if they played like 20 games there just for the money, which they are really gonna need this season and moving to the AL West next year.

[@tuck862]

Hey I was wondering if u could post a vid of u getting n the dome I grew up here and would LOVE to get in and look around

[@gologabob]

@BugattiVeyron4514 Also some of the lowerseats have a mechanism and will move depending on the sport that is planned to be played.

[@dknights411]

It's the closest thing Houston has to a national landmark, and many Houstonians are hesitant to tear it down.

[@starcb26]

Field turf is great. A lot of college teams have it because it causes less injuries than grass.

[@superemepwr]

Hey, I'd really like to get inside the ol' dome. Which side did you get in from? The Ramp, The turnstile's , or the side closest to reliant stadium. I have to do this for a family member Please reply!!!

[@XBarajasX]

At least seems pretty well conserved, and wasn't demolished as all the others of its kind.

[@Breadwinn_AR]

Listen to how quite it is. Compare that to how loud it was on April 1, 20001!

[@Carlos84131]

Wow I would wanna get in their but that wad Selena's last concert too after she got shot.. thats crazy

[@rundownthestreet203]

The Texans or Astros should play a game here sometime just for the nostalgia. It still stands so why not?

[@Steve98NYy12550]

@BugattiVeyron4514 I believe they had carpet for both sports

[@Stickymajorwow]

i miss the old scoreboard

[@RCColer]

@billybassman21 The county let the dome go to $%^*. And one main point to prove this is the fact that there are NO A/C coolers outside of the dome anymore. They tore them down a few years back. They already had in mind to close this place down a few years ago. It's upsetting. My uncle worked for Harris County as project manager at the dome...this place was part of my childhood. :)

[@Steve98NYy12550]

@4lifeReagan .. No, somebody just didnt lock a gate

[@Moflo99]

If only a new team would move in

[@WELOVEUSELENA]

I WANNA GO THERE....2 BAD SELENA AIN'T ALIVE ANYMORE!!!!

[@Steve98NYy12550]

@tuck862 Unfortunately I dont live in the Houston area. I was just here on a visit and judging by the comments here, I was lucky just to get inside.

[@williammullins1267]

How do you get inside?

[@dogyyful]

How do you get in the astrodome?

[@Mobycarp2011]

Wait, you can get into the Astrodome? I was gunna go to Houston this summer, and that would make my trip if i could just walk into the astrodome

[@billybassman21]

They should fix it up and lease it to the local school districts for various sporting events. No reason for it to go to waste. These pie in the sky ideas to make it into a hotel or an amusment park will never happen.

[@RCColer]

My cousin who works for the management company at the park can't even get in there. They have the gates and doors chained on the outside. So they just left a gate open? I believe you, but why would any gate be unlocked. That place doesn't even have a certificate of occupancy and hasn't for years. lol

[@real.isaias]

how did you get in there

[@itsy3h]

THere are probably holes in the walls that you could sneak in through or unlocked entrances

[@TheMrPeteChannel]

SAVE THE DOME!

[@pnkchicnero2011]

i just went the other day and it looks nasty from the outside..its going to waste ....i thought no one could get in

[@nategomez832]

I want U of H to play there instead of them getting a new stadium

[@aswish90]

I would attend a series like this and so would many other Houstonians. But the park is in awful shape and is condemned. It would take several million to get it back in game order.

[@gigem2996]

The door was unlocked.

[@4lifeReagan]

@Steve98NYy12550 Were you their with permission or no? I'm just wondering because I would loive to get in and just walk around.

[@cyskation059578]

wrestlemania x7..... I remember like if it was yesterday

[@morellochristian]

if people know this cant hold any events why dont they let it go

[@A2000abs]

Truly the 8th wonder of the world!

[@motonegros]

Saw Evil Knievel and Billy Graham there.

[@TheBrutalDrummer]

how did you get in there?

[@dw1985]

how the hell did u manage to get in there?

[@Steve98NYy12550]

@nategomez832 .. it may be nostalgic, but nobody wants to play on turf anymore

[@brandonwilliams5925]

I played A LOT of HS playoff games there( and won)..we called it our DOME away from home! ..Google: La Marque Cougars '95 State Championship game!! *5-time STATE CHAMPS!!!!*

[@cannsmith]

It's not the Reliant Houston Astrodome I think you're combining Reliant Stadium with the Astrodome. The Astrodome is owned by the city of Houston therefore it has no brand sponsored like Enron, Minute Maid, or Reliant

[@TheAutumnNetwork]

Eh, too late for all that. TSU will play their home games at the BBVA since they paid into the construction of the stadium. BBVA looks fuckin amazing btw. UH is simply going to re-do Robertson and make it better. I would love to see something positive come about with the Astrodome sports wise, but at this point it wouldn't make any since.

[@TerminXO]

and I was there....! =) the best wrestle mania ever.....

[@Steve98NYy12550]

@BobjumpA If I got caught, I could explain being in the stands, but not in the locker room.. lol.. im sure most of the good stuff has been ripped out anyway

[@JMMT7022801]

They could turn the place into an indoor ski resort like what they have in Dubai, lol!

[@bmcminn8838]

Places like this can help house the homeless until they can get on there feet but we would rather they sit empty and decay

[@dogyyful]

For the cougars to play in the astrodome..

[@Steve98NYy12550]

@thejavon7466 through an unlocked gate

[@dogyyful]

Thats exactly what i said!!

[@Breadwinn_AR]

2001*

[@cannsmith]

although it's still a piece of shit that needs to be ripped down cause I'm sick of paying taxes on that tired old crapdome

[@WELOVEUSELENA]

OK, but I NEVA said she farted!

[@winstoncorse4863]

That place was the 9th Wonder of the World it was so advanced for its time it's a shame it's just rotting away

[@Zach-in3dh]

Winston Corse hate to be that guy but it’s the 8th wonder of the world

[@winstoncorse4863]

8th* wonder of the world not 9th ha my bad

[@walkerjerry0]

Reliant*

[@Karoke77]

A northeast accent touring Houston history @_@ LOL

[@WELOVEUSELENA]

Lol

[@MRSAUCEDOG]

In 1972 I took my first steps in the Astrodome parking lot.

[@walkerjerry0]

Lol
