Why was the Kingdome so bad?

[@chugwaterjack4458]

Two discussions in the late 60's and early seventies were: 1.) Weyerhauser, THE timber company in the Northwest, was urging that any stadium in/near Seattle should be built of wood and wood products, and 2.) There would be (and eventually was the case) limited parking, thus not over impacting Seattle traffic on game days, forcing the use of transit in the area. At one point there was even a proposal to extend the Monorail south to any stadium site.

[@loganb.1984]

As a Seattle fan I will always have a soft spot for this place. It’s the birthplace of the 12th man, because the dome would trap the fan noise, and this encouraged the fans to be even louder. The tradition of Seahawks home games being loud started here.

[@jordanhanna6884]

100% this. Memories of Randy Johnson and Ken Griffey Jr. too

[@georgesanders1132]

The Kingdome was a dump, but that is where I saw my first NBA, NFL, and MLB games. I was there at the 1987 NBA All-Star Game, and in high school I dreamed of one day playing in the Kingbowl there.

[@GizmoBeach]

I was a Seahawks fan from 1980-1994 and I've been a Sacramento Kings fan since they moved from KC. Both teams retired numbers honoring their fans (12 and 6) which is way cool.

[@jonstefanik9400]

I was at a Red Sox game against the Mariners which would have been played in Seattle but because of the ceiling collapse they had the game at Fenway Park. Tickets went on sale that day and full every section but the outfield bleachers were closed. Ken Griffey Jr. was on second base and me, my father and my best friend were sitting on the third base side. My friend gave a double gun point to Junior and Junior gave one back.

[@jordanhanna6884]

Thanks for sharing this, love it

[@plmn93]

A stadium that anchored three professional franchises can't be all bad. If you weren't there at the time, you really can't understand just what a marvel it was considered to be playing football and baseball indoors. They weren't nearly as bad as you think. During the 1987 and 1991 World Series the Metrodome, which also hosted three franchises for a time, made for one of the best atmospheres in baseball history.

[@nubtv8545]

agreed!

[@JStorm13]

I'm sure the stadium raked in money during those years. During the prime final years of the Metrodome, they were booked 350 days of the year.

[@smmichie]

No indoor stadium could ever be a top atmosphere in baseball history. Ridiculous comment

[@DebitAdams]

It also hosted the NFL Pro Bowl in 1977, the MLB All-Star Game in 1979 and the NBA All-Star Game in 1987

[@plmn93]

@@smmichie What's ridiculous is to dismiss something you obviously weren't around for. In 1987 the Metrodome was twice as loud as Busch Stadium. It was similar in '91. Also in 1987 more errors were committed by opponents in the Metrodome than in any other venue. It was a huge advantage for the Twins and it is doubtful they would have won without that. Target Field, while consistently ranking as one of the very best stadiums in MLB, has been subdued and reserved by comparison.

[@winstondave]

Here in Seattle, we loved the Kingdome and had many great memories. Yes, the newer football and baseball stadiums are better, but the nostalgia we have for the Kingdome can't be beat. I'll never forget the Paul McCartney Wings concert in 1978!

[@flxgld7096]

He's a 🤡

[@PaladinCecil]

I remember being at the final home game in '94, which was the night before the tiles fell, and we had a victory against the Orioles. Although The Kingdome has had a bad reputation for being an indoor multi-purpose stadium, when the Mariners had their epic '95 play-off run, no one in Washington could've cared less. During that six-week stretch, the type of ballpark we played in didn't matter. All we cared about was that the team was winning and during that span, there was no better place to be in Washington than The Kingdome. It was one of the most exciting times to live in that state since Seattle became a major sports town, and many of that ballpark's best memories were in September and October of '95. And when we ended our post-season drought last year, our best home games of September were very reminiscent of the epic run from 27 years prior. Regarding Lumen Field, it's original name wasn't Qwest Field. It was Seahawks Stadium for its first two seasons (which I still call it today) before having three corporate name changes.

[@jordanhanna6884]

The '95 and the '01 seasons were amazing, the energy of the fans and city was something else.

[@keithharper1470]

Kingdome roof was designed to keep noise in it was very loud in the Kingdome, especially for football. The best feature for baseball was the right field wall when they painted it blue. If they would've used curtains for the right field upper deck like the Metrodome did the baseball configuration would not have looked so bad being that the upper deck didn't wrap around.

[@tjtribble.]

It’s interesting that despite its objective flaws, people still LOVE this stadium. It has a cult following stronger than most other abandoned stadiums in sports. You’ll still find people from the PNW that miss it and even prefer it over Safeco/Tmobile. It definitely had to go when it did, and I’d much rather have Safeco with its open air roof and Lumen with its ear-shattering atmosphere, but I can’t deny that the Kingdome has a charm that simply can’t be found anywhere else.

[@smmichie]

The Kingdom was one of the ugliest stadiums ever built

[@robbyg8104]

My fondest memory of the Kingdome is when Bo Jackson just went off against the Seahawks. He rushed for 221 yards and 3 touchdowns (including an epic 91 yard run), while trucking much hyped rookie Brian Bosworth!🏈

[@kipkyzer9298]

Bo Jackson would have knocked out Cam Chancellor, Bobby Wagner AND Richard Sherman on their asses AT THE SAME TIME. They really were not that good

The Kingdome was awesome. Great memories. Some people just can’t be pleased.

[@mooch2oh6]

Even though the Kingdome was ugly it is still beloved to this day by many in Seattle and the greater PNW. Even though the new stadiums it's been replaced with are infinitely better, it's still kind of legendary around here and holds a special place in many people's hearts. I remember so many people went and took pieces of concrete after they imploded it just to say they had a piece of the Kingdome.

[@troyfoster6004]

The Kingdome is my favorite stadium of all time. When I was a child growing up in Portland, Oregon, my father would take me to Seattle every year to see an entire series between the Oakland A's (my favorite team) and the Mariners. I marveled at the Kingdome through young eyes. It was so massive and cool. They figured out how to build a baseball stadium with a roof over it! Holy shit! The day they blew it up was a sad day for me. Many great memories there watching the A's of the McGwire, Canseco and Henderson era dominate the Mariners.

[@mapgar1479]

That is why its sister stadium Tropicana Field needs to be declared a national historic landmark and be safe from demolition.

[@johnpaulbacon8320]

Actually it was - Imploded not Blown-Up. I watched that on King 5 ( NBC ) live and it was a heart felt day. Our family has lived in WA ( Federal Way ) since 1980 : I can't count how many times I went to the King Dome over the years. With the New Stadiums replacing it - helped to ease the pain of losing it.

[@TMC1982Part2]

I distinctively remember Bob Costas saying, when he was broadcasting the 2000 ALCS on NBC that the Kingdome was ugly. I'm paraphrasing but when the series moved to Seattle for Game 3, Costas said at the top of the broadcast, unlike the monstrosity that was the Kingdome, a pitcher's nightmare with its bandbox dimensions, the Mariners' new home, what was then known as Safeco Field, now T-Mobile Park, was not only beautiful but favored the pitchers. If it's up on KZbin, I'll try to go back and look at it to because I seem to recall sometime during the broadcast, Bob Costas going further on-air on how horrible of a ballpark the Kingdome was.

[@KingdomeBleachers]

I loved going to the Kingdome. Walking through the tunnel in the 300 level into the domed area was such an incredible experience. You could not see inside to the playing field from the concessions area till you went through the tunnel into your seating area. It was just MASSIVE and so impressive. I still have a clear memory of going to a sellout game, the first return of the Yankees after they lost to us in the playoffs in '95. We had seats in the right field area and we were surrounded by blue collar bleacher creatures, just as God intended for baseball. My Mom would not let us sit in the metal bench until she went to the bathroom and soaped up some paper towels and scrubbed them, then rinsed them with wet ones, and dried them with dried ones. You can imagine the looks of our entire section of seeing a little Asian lady with arms full of paper towels, some wet some not and us standing next to the bench. I was kind of embarrassed. I saw a guy see my Mom and ask: "what is this lady doing?" She began wiping the bench, and when she was done, flipped the first paper towel over and everyone in the entire section screamed! 😂 The big dude asking what my Mom was doing started freaking out about his own seat and asked if she could wipe his too. 😂 Anyways. Disgusting. It was a dump, but it was OUR dump!

[@jordanhanna6884]

man you just sparked memories I forgot I had, talking about walking through the tunnel. I remember that, the opening into the massive view.

[@TMC1982Part2]

The KZbin channel balsamwoods has a video that is a tour of the Kingdome from 1992. I get why the Kingdome looked undesirable even back then. It gave off this dark, cold, damp, brutalist vibe in its atmosphere. It would almost be like how I would imagine playing baseball in a dungeon would be like. It didn't help that prior to the memorable, "Refuse to Lose" season in 1995, the Mariners were practically a non-entity in the American League.

The absolute loudest stadium in MLB history. Those sold out games of the late 90's made up for all the years of empty seats.

[@chrisguardiano6143]

In addition to the Mariners, Seahawks & Sonics, the Kingdome was also home of the Sounders of the NASL from 1976-1983, meaning from 1978 (when the Sonics moved in) -1983 the Kingdome was home to four teams at once. In fact the very first event at the Kingdome was a NASL match between the Sounders & the NY Cosmos (who had Pele) that drew one of the largest crowds the Kingdome ever saw. When it came to soccer, the Kingdome was actually one of the better venues in the NASL from the players perspective because it had a wide field. However this also meant that the fans were seated far away from the field making it not so spectator friendly. Despite that, the Sounders were among the league leaders in attendance during their time in the NASL. The Kingdome also hosted the NCAA Final Four for men's soccer in 1985 & even hosted a World Cup qualifier (the first one held indoors) between the US & Canada in 1976.

Actually at least in recent years they have closed the roof at T-Mobile for a few games early in the season just to maintain some warmth because it can be pretty chilly in April, but you are right that most of the time it is open unless there is rain or a chance of rain

[@1mlb704]

I went to Seattle in 2018 to see Pearl Jam play at Safeco Field. I got there early and actually got to see the roof retract closed, it was really neat. I'm a fan of that stadium.

[@ElwoodBruise39]

I used to call it "Darth Vader's Vacation Retreat" due to the grayness and the deep booming voices of the PA announcers boucing around the concrete. Although with that said, as a general spectator it wasn't THAT bad to watch a game or other event of any type in. Not nearly up to today's standards, but also not horrible. The real negative things I remember about it was how it had no escalators and only 1 elevator (that went to the press box). So when you got there, you started climbing those ramps you see along the outside. And then when you got in, you climbed even higher to your seat (especially in the upper deck). Even as a kid and young adult who was in relatively good shape, that climb took a toll on you before the event even started. And the corridor's were super tight, too. It wasn't that noticible at a Mariners game in the 70's and 80's (mostly since there was barely anyone there). But for a Seahawks game or a larger concert...all I know is that if an emergency happened, just about everyone in there possibly could have been in serious peril trying to get out. T-Mobile Park and Lumen Field are definite upgrades and I love them both, but every now and then when I think back on it, I do kinda miss the Kingdome. It has it's special place in Seattle lore...for mostly good reasons.

I remember watching the demolition of the Kingdome live on TV. The Kingdome had plenty of issues, but there is no denying its legacy. The astroturf certainly did its damage to a lot of players. Safeco Field is great though. I was at the first ever, maybe only ever rain delay at Safeco when the roof failed to close. Love your videos. Hopefully people will learn from the past and design stadiums even better. I certainly think a stadium should have a 30+ year life. These teams complaining after 10-15 years need to suck it up.

I only managed to get through half this vid before I had to stop. Talk about a debby downer.

You are in WASHINGTON STATE! it was RIGHT NEXT TO THE WATER! Washington rains a LOT! Yeah it was all cement but they wanted to make sure it stood if the water levels ever rose high enough to hit the stadium.

There’s no such thing as the industrial district of Seattle. It’s called ”SODO“ south of downtown. Most people who lived in Seattle and used to go there didn’t think it was that bad especially during the playoffs. It was electric and probably one of the loudest stadium’s ever.

Only thing I ever saw in there. Yeah it wasn't great but Seattle fans were always pretty awesome. At that time not that many Jays fans were going down to games. Which was kind of weird because the Jays were awesome through the late 80's early 90's. But geezus did Safeco ever make up for what the Kingdome wasn't. I absolutely love safeco.

The Kingdome looked like an ugly clam shell. It's too bad that the city didn't build an attractive facade around the outer wall. But on the plus side, that ugly stadium probably paid for itself several times over. I did manage to catch a baseball game there in '85, and I thought that it looked really drab compared to BC Place in Vancouver (which had an inflated teflon roof like the Metrodome and Silverdome). Also saw an MLB exhibition game at BC Place too... I thought that the seating/field configuration was decent, but I wondered if the ceiling made it difficult for fielders to track pop-fly balls. And I can say this... an inflated roof overhead was nowhere near as frightening to me as that massive concrete hat over the Kingdome... a big earthquake during a game could have been horrific.

[@plmn93]

The Kingdome wasn't paid off until 15 years after it was demolished.

[@KOZMOGRAFX]

@@plmn93 Do you mean the Kingdome itself, or the roof repair? Without using the google, it seems to me that the repair was ridiculously expensive, and it wasn't long before the dome was knocked down anyway. EDIT: I stand corrected. From Wikipedia: "The Kingdome was demolished before the debt issued to finance its construction was fully paid, and as of September 2010, residents of King County were still responsible for more than $80 million in debt on the demolished stadium. The debt was retired on March 2015, nine months ahead of the original bond maturity and 15 years after the stadium's demolition. " Jeepers... 3-4 sports teams called it home all those years, along with other events... all that money made, with none of it going toward funding the dome construction?
