Talk:Astrodome

message: The article correctly mentions that the Astrodome had Astroturf installed many years ago, but the Astroturf article states that Astroturf is now obsolete, replaced by other brands of artificial turf.  So what kind is currently installed in the Astrodome?  --LostLeviathan 13:18, 29 July 2005 (UTC)

message: I don't know if the Hurrican Katrina Survivors should be considered "tenants" in the same sense a list of sports franchises and rodeos, but I'm not certain enough to make the edit. -- Bobak 20:33, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

message: The name of this article should be "Astrodome", not "Reliant Astrodome". When the park originally opened, and throughout the majority of its lifetime as a Baseball/Football stadium that's what it was referred to as. Corporate sponsorship didn't come into play until the Astrodome's last years. Even during the Hurricane Katrina crisis in 2005, the dome was refered to as the "Astrodome" without a corporate name. The takehome point is that it is known as the Astrodome. Darwin's Bulldog 08:44, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

message: Why is one section of the roof significantly darker than the rest? I was under the impression that all the windows were painted over, not just one section. User:69.91.80.137 19:56, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

message: i deleted this sentence "The floor of the stadium was never paved with a hard surface, like other stadiums. The AstroTurf was laid upon the dirt surface of the once natural grass playing field." because i have been on the floor of the 'dome and it is, in fact, concreteDerek840378 19:56, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

message: There should be some description of what Judge Roy Hofhheinz did to get the funding for the Astrodome and get it built. As I understand it, he even had a luxury apartment for himself built in the Dome.Hanksummers (talk) 04:08, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

message: I made the statement more specific as to why the preseason game between the Oilers and San Diego Chargers was cancelled in the mid 90's.  It is important to note that the field was dilapidated and run down, and that this condition caused the cancellation.  To simply say it was "deemed unplayable" doesn't give enough information as to why the field was considered unsafe for a football game (could have been due to flooding, a concert the night before, etc.).  —Preceding unsigned comment added by ChargersFan (talk • contribs) 18:51, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

message: The NLCS between the Astros and the Phillies is considered a classic.  Several of the games going to extra innings, Nolan Ryan pitching in the 5th and decisive game (back then the LCS was a tigher 3 out of 5), the Phils hitting off Nolan, and then winning in the 10th.

thread_title:  Should we include baseball League Champion Series in 1980? 

message: There was a rather glaring error in the first paragraph.  This was not the world's first domed sports stadium.  An interesting list of some famous large domes can be found at the List_of_largest_domes_in_the_world.  If anyone wants to revise whatever it was first at, though (first stadium with a dome over a sports "field" or first air conditioned baseball stadium or whatever), have at it.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.164.99.10 (talk) 18:47, 9 June 2011 (UTC)

message: The text of the "Referendum" section appears to be directly lifted from an article available on multiple sites online, including http://sports.yahoo.com/news/astrodome-may-see-1-last-162229306--spt.html. The copy-paste job is evident from the formatting of that section, which neither matches the rest of the article nor conforms to Wikipedia's style guidelines. I suggest that the section be re-edited and re-formatted to correct this problem.  86.212.120.143 (talk) 00:20, 5 February 2014 (UTC)

message: "It served as the second home to the Houston Astros...and Houston Oilers." Wasn't it those teams' primary home statium? If not, what was the first home?

replies: text: I think that is in reference to the chronological order. The Astros (Colt .45s) played at Colt Stadium first before moving to the Astrodome. Minute Maid Park is their third home. For the Oilers, the Astrodome was their third home stadium. There is probably a better way to word that, however, since it does sound like it is saying the Astrodome wasn't either team's primary stadium. --JonRidinger (talk) 23:08, 11 July 2015 (UTC)
