The outfit the brought her down did a near perfect job. They left three buttresses up. Still, they dropped her inside her own footprint, not hard to avoid when you're dealing with a stadium of any kind. I'd love to have some of the metal from the roof. That would make a real nice keepsake.
A lot of people didn't like TS in her later years. Too old, too uncomfortable, too this, too that. I always loved the place. Texas Stadium will always be a special place to me.
I didn’t miss it, you had to walk two miles, the bathrooms were horrible, and heaven forbid if you went to a concert there, the acoustics were horrific.
I had the same feelings about the Astrodome. I went to the University of Houston for a summer back in the 60s. My roommates and I would get seats for $2.50 in the upper deck behind home plate, drink Schlitz and watch the Astros, who had some great moments and some comic plays too. In a way it was a wonder of the world at the time as you could sit back in 72 degree cool during the summer on Beautiful Buffalo Bayou ;o); enjoy baseball and escape the Houston steam room weather.
