—I was there when they really did blow up the Kingdome. It was its finest moment. BTT.—

I’m with you, but I understand it was one of the only domed stadiums that actually MADE money due to its low cost. I was out of town when they took it out and very disappointed I missed it.

I’m also one of those that voted to put it by Southcenter. I understand I was in the majority, but you know how King County politics is...

The blowup was a hoot. They dynamited the place and everybody cheered and then went home, mostly back toward downtown. But the wind shifted and in about five minutes this horrible rain of dust and insulation and God knows what else started falling throughout the business district. Took days to clean up the mess. The Dome got us all one last time.
