Harris County tax dollars will be used to either destroy the Dome or revitalize it. I would much prefer my tax dollars to go towards a vision that contributes to the economic prosperity of our region by turning the Dome into a powerhouse of economic impact. I am all for saving the 8th Wonder of the World and building new memories in the structure that houses so many of our old ones!
Craig supported: Save the AstrodomeI lived in Houston until 2017. The Astrodome seems like it has always been there. But, I remember going to have a look with my dad while it was under construction. It is an iconic symbol of Houston and needs to be preserved. This is a great plan with a great return on investment. Let's do it!
Kent supported: Save the AstrodomeAfter Hurricane Katrina, the Astrodome became a place of shelter to many people from my city which is why it holds a really special place in my heart. So when the opportunity to participate in the initiative to save the Astrodome back in 2012 came up, I jumped at the chance. In fact it helped propel me down the path to becoming the Preservationist I am today. What a shame it would be to let this amazing place that has become woven into the fabric of the city of Houston go to waste. With that said, the fight to save the Astrodome still remains near and dear to my heart and I would love to help further the effort in any way that I can.

Robert supported: Save the AstrodomeIn my life I’ve never been able to experience the astrodome in its H-town glory. I don’t want the past, present, and future generations that have never experienced the Astrodome to go their entire life not experiencing this piece of Houston history.
Joseph supported: Save the Astrodome60 years later, our Asrrodome remains Houston's primary identity with the rest of the world, a landmark we must not let vanish because of neglect and indifference.
Madeleine supported: Save the AstrodomeI’m 61 yrs old. The Astrodome is a treasure for our city. I did worked there when the Astros were playing there. Let’s save our legacy.
Donna supported: Save the AstrodomeThis building is Houston. This building is the Astros, Oilers, HS Football playoffs, and HLSR (rodeo). I am amazed at the fact that this building has been left to deteriorate. I am amazed that architects are only interested in it when they can make a buck of off its proposals. My fondest memory is one that I wish everyone had... it is sitting at an Oiler's game looking around watching all the fans twirl their towels singing "Luv Ya Blue!" Oh what a memory.
Right now some old politician is being courted by developers to put an end to this building, rather than his/her career, yet this building is more significant than anything they have ever done or will do. This building has touched so many lives, including those who fled here from hurricane Katrina. It is a staple of the community and if beautified could be an even greater staple to our children and their children. Thank you conservancy for your hard work and determination to save the 8th wonder of the world. Only Houston, would consider demolishing a building that was once knows as that.
Terrance supported: Save the AstrodomeI am a Native Houstionan and remember the day of the opening. I attended the day the Boy Scouts of America held their Special Day in 1964. What a Marvel of architecture and the first Covered Dome. What a shame Houston has ignored this historical preservation opportunity to hold this history to Shine. Pull up the boots Houston and get the overdue ticket item back to the beauty it deserves.
Dorothy supported: Save the AstrodomeThis is an exciting, vital and democratic use of a neglected space. It has the potential to increase stability and strengthen community ties for existing residents in a neighborhood that has seen unchecked gentrification and displacement. The city's resources are the people's resources, and should be controlled by the people-- not private businesses and wealthy political donors.
Joseph supported: DCP, Mayor Adams: we support the Queensboro People's Space in LIC, Queens!!You’re not alone — a community of supporters is ready to back you.
