30 Forgotten Stadiums Where the Crowd Never Came Back
12. Houston Astrodome (Houston, Texas, USA)
Dubbed the "Eighth Wonder of the World," the Houston Astrodome made history as the first multi-purpose, domed sports stadium upon its opening in 1965. It hosted a myriad of events, from Major League Baseball games to concerts and even served as a shelter during Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Despite its rich history, the Astrodome has been closed to the public since 2009 due to non-compliance with fire codes. While various redevelopment plans have been proposed, as of 2024, the structure remains standing but unused, serving primarily as a storage facility within the NRG Park complex.
