It's been a long time since the Houston Oilers or any other team called the Astrodome home, and voters rejected a bond measure to adapt and reuse this domed cathedral last year. But Emmett's not giving it up. Yesterday, he led the press on a tour of the Astrodome to introduce his own plan to restore it: By creating the world's largest indoor park.
This isn't the first scheme mounted by preservationists who see a future for the dome.

I don't want to see this beauty demolished. Proposed adoptive reuse could be a good possibility.
Once hyped as the 8TH WONDER OF THE WORLD and the dome that gave us ASTROTURF an indoor garden would not be that bad, a sort of different utopia.,a bio-dome perhaps. The ASTROTURF irony not lost here,,,grass would not grow inside the dome.
I really thought Kirksey's (I think?) proposal was the mostly likely scenario for the Dome.
