Goodbye, Astrodome: Texans Reject a Plan to Save the Decaying Marvel
Houstonians might be eager to snap up pieces of the Astrodome's turf and concession stands, but they weren't prepared to authorize $217 million in bonds to preserve the aging stadium through a redevelopment scheme that would transform it into a convention center. On Tuesday, Houston voters rejected the plan, "very likely dooming it to demolition," according to The New York Times. The decision will be put in the hands of local officials—but this seems final.
