I live about a mile away from the Dome. It is my understanding that it is falling apart inside, and would take many hundreds of millions of $$$ to make it safe again, so any refurb plans are merely politician-spewed propaganda. They know it can never be reinhabited.

The thing about the cats is kinda neat, though.

Meanwhile here in Dallas, we’ve torn down Reunion Arena and Texas Stadium within the last year alone.

Yet the Cotton Bowl still stands, go figure.

You need to be careful which reports you read telling you that it is “unsafe”. True the county is letting it fall into disrepair as they did with the Colosseum before it.

But the fire marshall started to apply fire codes that never applied to the Astrodome. THAT is what led them to say that it was no longer “safe” for anyone to enter.
