The Houston Astrodome is one of America's weirdest and most iconic stadiums, and its origin story is just as crazy. In the first part of a two-part series on the Dome, we take a look at the wild story of how the Dome - and the Astros themselves - came to be.

What is your favorite baseball stadium? Let us know down below!

@deepmarineproductions982 2 года назад

Among the ones I've been to, I'd probably have to go with either Coors or Oracle

@mattmurphy5805 2 года назад

Camden yards is my favorite, coors is great too

Dorktown, an SRS video about the Savanna Bananas, and Sports Oddity on the same day!!! I am convinced this is some type of alternate universe…

@TheDiamondBaseball 2 года назад

I'm honored that you would put me among this list, but also don't forget Summoning Salt dropping last night as well!

@RetroBaseball 2 года назад

@@TheDiamondBaseball True I didn’t even think of that, this definitely is an alternate universe.

As an Astros fan who wasn't around to see any games in the Astrodome, seeing pictures, videos, and GameDay programs from those days gives me a great feeling of nostalgia. Seeing nothing being done with it now makes me sad when there's endless potential for what it could be other than the parking garage they're trying to turn it into.

@TheDiamondBaseball 2 года назад

I really hope they do find something productive to use it for one of these days, its too iconic to be left to rot like this

@LordWafflestomp 2 года назад

@@TheDiamondBaseball agreed, and it's too much a part of the city's history to be turned into just a parking garage.

I thought compound interest was the 8th wonder of the world.

@deepmarineproductions982 2 года назад

Revive the Dome!

Love watching these, and I jam to the intro theme every time it comes on

@TheDiamondBaseball 2 года назад

Thanks, I'm glad you're enjoying them!

@mattmurphy5805 2 года назад

To bad it’s condemned, otherwise it would cool to see a astros Yankees anniversary game there today

Hopefully one day after you finish your Arizona videos I can get part two of this. At this point I feel like I should make a bunch of different accounts and just start subscribing and liking everything, because this is ridiculous how you aren't getting more recognition. I'm literally flabbergasted.

@TheDiamondBaseball 2 года назад

Probably not gonna end up doing part two, not a whole lot of people seemed to be interested in it
