The Astrodome at 50: Spectacle and Sport

Through the past 50 years, the Astrodome's steel and concrete walls have been witness to history. Among the most notable events:

• The birth of a new Major League Baseball team, still going strong in 2015
• A magic season for a now-departed football team in a now-dead league
• A major Hollywood film by Robert Altman filmed in and premiering at the Astrodome
• Stunts by Evel Kneivel
• Selena's last major concert
• Ronald Reagan's last major speech
• The housing of more than 17,000 evacuees from a flooded city
• The rise and fall of a great promoter, whose legacy lives on in every sports stadium in America

And many, many, more. Please take a stroll with us through the Astrodome's corridors one final time. Enjoy!
