Did this video really do a history of the Georgia Dome without the 1996 USA Women's Gymnastics and Kerri Strugg moment?

@LaBreeceTV Год назад

What this channel does is really unprecented. Few if any have attempted to tell the story of a sports venue from start to finish. Wikipedia does an ok job of telling you some of the basic highlights and lots of people have blogs where they extensively talk about the events a venue hosted but anyone rarely tells the full story we do in Modern Ruins. Unfortunately in bringing together information from all the various resources things slip. It hurts when its something obvious or something that people alive/aware during that era would vividly remember, but it happens. I'll look into kerri strugg and the 1996 olympics and the magnificent 7. I do keep notes on things like this in case i decide down the road to remake the video, so thank you for bringing this to my attention.

My high school marching band competed at the Bands of America Super Regionals here in 2016 before it closed. For those who don’t know, it was a pretty big deal to be able to compete at a BOA event.

I grew up in Athens, Georgia and remember going to an event at the GWCC when they were building the Dome. I thought it was the most amazing building I'd ever seen. Saw Billy Graham there. Went to a Hawks game there, which was cool. Then Mercedes-Benz was built and dwarfed it. Was it an amazing venue? Absolutely. But the new dome is just so much better.

@abathens Год назад

Really appreciate this documentary. I remember driving around the Dome construction site in the early 90s and my first game there in 1994 (vs the Cleveland Browns). I was at the glorious final game vs the Packers in the NFC Championship. Now that the current venue is a few years old, it ain't all that. The halo video board isn't great, and the opening in the roof looks to be all of about 6 feet in diameter. New venues in LA and Minneapolis have eclipsed Mercedes Benz Stadium in design and aesthetics. And don't get me started on the number of empty seats for each Falcons game. At least when Atlanta United is playing, fans stay put for the duration.

_LaBreece, thanks for a great documentary on the 'old' GA Dome. I went to the first 'official' concert held there back in 1992. It was U2 w/Public Enemy & another band as the opener. I remember that it smelled like a 'new car' inside the dome that night. And U2 always puts on a killer live show (I've seen them 4 times) & this was no different. Thanks._ OK - I found the fact sheet to the dome & it says this: *"The first headlining concert at the dome was U2’s Zoo TV Tour, which stopped over on Sept. 25, 1992, drawing a crowd of 52,318. Big Audio Dynamite II and Public Enemy were also on the bill."*

Crazy how you could spend millions on a stadium, just to tear it down in 20-25 years. It would make sense if the stadiums were not built correctly, but other than that, I don't understand how you could throw away a perfectly fine stadium that could have all those problems fixed with one renovation or two. It's like Globe Life Park in Arlington, that ballpark was closed way to early. I understand the heat problem, but it's not like it lasted all year. I understand that it could be a problem for players, but when players are wanting to join a team, they're gonna want to see if the team will actually win or not if they join, not about how the stadium gets hot for a few weeks.

The former Dome had potential to live out it's useful life, with quantity being made for prosperity. Yeah, the Mercedes-Benz Stadium is great and truly out the ordinary, but that could have waited for another 10 years for consideration of being built. It's like renovating an old house 5 years prior, only to tear it down to build a new one. You just wasted your or taxpayers' money and time for all that effort.

@LaBreeceTV Год назад

You can compare it to Seinfeld or the Beatles in that Arthur Blank and the GWCCA saw the end before everyone else did. I agree it could have waited, but that is more of an obvioius decision in hindsight because of the pandemic. To be honest, MBS hosts the same or less events than Georgia Dome did. The only big event I feel like that came as result of replacing GD was the super bowl. However, MBS was built to maintain the status quo, and not change the city over again. With the only exception being that it is designed with soccer in mind and is much more catered to soccer teams and fans than GD was in anticipation of bringing the World Cup to the US and being home to the United. One question I do have is what does Allegiant and Sofi have that MBS doesn't that could have justified waiting to build the stadium in terms of amenties and design features.

The Falcons should have been forced to continue to play in the Georgia Dome, after the MBS was built, after losing Super Bowl LI. They didn't deserve to play in a brand new stadium after that embarrassing lost on national television. I was absolutely disgusted with that poor performance. Not to mention the $1000, I lost betting on them. The way I figure it, they owe me $1000, plus interest from February 2017. I can only hope that there are no remaining players still on the team!

I actually preferred the Ga Dome vs the Benz. 😊

So sad and kinda pissed. I have so many memories at the Georgia Dome, all those different games, HS football, Falcons, Braves, Dawgs, Olympics, wrestling, monster truck shows, etc. But most of all, it's where i proposed to my now wife and where she told me she was pregnant with our first. RIP Georgia Dome.

25 years is a lifetime by Atlanta standards. Turner Field didn't make it that long.

@zesolodar Год назад

Colt Stadium and Sick's Stadium had shorter lives.

My first game in the Dome was Falcons Chiefs in 2000, I was 8. There was an infinite amount of memories under that fiberglass roof. We had a real home field advantage back then no matter how bad the team was. Now that new monstrosity attracts the other teams fans like honey. They made home games destinations for away teams. Dumb.

I think about “Fled”(1996) when I see The Georgia Dome.

I saw that movie at the old Lenox Square theaters. At the time, it felt cool to see Atlanta area represented in a movie. I remember Stone Mountain in that movie, as well as Stephen Baldwin.

9:41: If you want to be technical, CBS broadcast the first two Super Bowls back to back, however Super Bowl I in 1967 (at the end of the 1966 season overall) was a simulcast between CBS, who prior to the 1970 merger, was the National Football League network and NBC, who at the time, was the American Football League network.

Our high school football team played there three times in the 90's for the state semi-finals. And I got to march on that field via the marching band. Makes me sick that they demolished it.....and they hired the cheapest company they could find to bring it down. And they botched the demolition!

Being a Bama fan I had the opportunity to visit here MANY times and there was not a finer dome. The seats were great, field views were great. The MBD is completely different. Seatsare far away, the amenities are over the top and the damn annoying train horn. I have nothing but great memories of the best dome that ever existed.
