Little did this guy know that when he and two friends found themselves at a fair in the shadow of the abandoned Astrodome, that they would find what they did. It turns out that a small hole in the fence led to a concourse that, to their amazement, led them directly out onto the field. Yes, the field of the old Houston Astrodome. Once inside, to their disbelief, they had free reign to explore the entire stadium, which oddly had most of the lights on. Here’s what they had to say:
After making it in through a gap in the fence, we were stunned to find out that where we snuck in led straight onto the field. It’s kind of hard to tell, but you can see that all of the lights were on in the main hallways which we thought was strange, but definitely helped us explore! Let me go ahead and add an edit in here: this was not this year, this was in early 2012. We were NOT in there to vandalize, steal, or damage any property. Just there to see how the ol’ dome was doing! Also, I do not know the current condition of the astrodome and even if it were to be in the same condition as it was when we checked it out I would NOT recommend and do not condone trespassing on private property. I don’t think the building is safe anymore so don’t do it!
From old locker rooms to scoreboard control centers to ice machines, they were amazed to see what was still there. Check out the photos below!
