Astrodome
Dubbed as the “Eighth Wonder of the World” by its fans, the Astrodome was truly a jewel of the state of Texas. This $35 million stadium was home to the Houston Astros as well as the Houston Oilers and even a part-time home for the Houston Rockets. The Astrodome became the first major sports venue to install artificial turf, eventually called AstroTurf. This huge stadium can sit up to 60,000 fans during a game. In 2014, the Astrodome was registered to the National Registry of Historic Places. Unfortunately, the stadium was heavily damaged due to hurricane Katrina. Today, it remains is decrepit and unused.
