Listen Later

This episode explores the history of Houston's Astrodome, once hailed as the 'Eighth Wonder of the World.' From its groundbreaking 1960s construction to its golden years hosting sports and concerts, the stadium eventually fell out of use as newer venues emerged. Despite numerous revival proposals and its historical status, the Astrodome remains largely abandoned, representing both Houston's past glory and ongoing debates about its future.
