message: I removed the line at the end of the first paragraph about how the Kingdome implosion was recorded by "legendary avante-gard experimental film maker Jon Behrens, who famously... blah blah"  First, there is no suggestion anywhere that "Jon Behrens" is all that lengendary.. it looks like he, or some obsessed fan, wrote his wikipedia entry, and second, this mini-dedication to Jon Behrens deserves no place on the Wikipedia article about the Kingdome.  10,000 more important things happened to or happened in the Kingdome than Jon Behran's life-altering film.

message: "The Kingdome is featured prominently in the scenery of the Gran Turismo 2 Seattle tracks.   
The Kingdome is destroyed by Soviet artillery in World in Conflict"
Some may call this trivia worthy of removal, but I think it should be included. This is because the stadium no longer exists, and these games feature it, and for sports historians its a novelty to be able to see the stadium in the game when its not here today. A similar issue comes to mind with NHL '99, the final game to include Maple Leaf Gardens as an active arena. Ypsidan 01:13, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: *Well, since those items qualify as being trivia under WP:TRIVIA, they will be removed as trivia. Renaming the section doesn't make the items themselves any more significant or consequential. Also, calling that section "How to see the stadium today," is misleading (and somewhat ridiculous) since those are virtual representations of the stadium and it implies that there is something tangible left of the stadium onsite or elsewhere. This isn't the case, and that section, no matter what it's called, will continue to be removed. Cumulus Clouds 21:41, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

message: Edited baseball, it was built for both. Neither football nor baseball were in mind. Wall wasn't named "Walla Wall" it was called "Walla Walla. "Most of CF and RF" were visible contrary to article. Only the track and wall were obstructed, 6/8ths of the field was visible even in the worst seats. 613 isn't a correct number, changed it to "over 500 feet" because according to the "Tale of the Tape" stats I've seen on the park the farthest seat in dead center was 546 feet away and the farthest seat in RF was 541 and the farthest seat in the "Cloud Crowd" was 506. No real way to say how far it was because those are just seat stats.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Seattlehawk94 (talk • contribs) 09:14, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

message: In Jay-Z's hit song Empire State of Mind he says "Long live the World Trade, Long live the Kingdome".Lyrics for The Blueprint 3
This is just untrue. These lyrics are wrong. Jay is saying "Long live the king yo." There is no reason Jay-Z would mention a Seattle landmark in a song about New York City.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.229.225.172 (talk) 21:33, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

message: This term doesn't make sense in this article. The Kingdome couldn't have been built in "the SoDo neighborhood" because there wasn't any such term in use at the time, and the Kingdome was never in it anyway. The term SoDo refers to the level (filled) area south of the Kingdome and, as such, only applied from the time the Kingdome was built forward.
The Dome was built south of Pioneer Square in a decaying area that I don't recall merited a name at the time.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vanhorn (talk • contribs) 11:24, 13 March 2011 (UTC)

replies: text: I have disputed the inclusion of this link (not just here, but on a number of WP articles concerning MLB stadiums) because there are reliable sources from MLB (such as this one) that list the stadium dimensions. See WP:ELNO criteria 1 and 11. There has been no explanation for why this personal web page would qualify as a reliable source given WP:ELNO #11. (Mr. Clem, from what I can tell, does not meet WP notability guidelines that would qualify for such an exception.) Larry Hockett (Talk) 18:23, 12 December 2019 (UTC)

text: I don't see why we need a blog link like that in the external links section. There are plenty of reliable sources that can be pulled to list the dimensions. SounderBruce 03:16, 13 December 2019 (UTC)
