HOUSTON - The long saga of the empty Astrodome has taken another turn
with a powerful county leader's proposal to convert the aging
architectural icon into the world's largest air conditioned park.Standing
on the floor of the vacant domed stadium, Harris County Judge Ed Emmett
pitched the idea of turning the former ballpark into a public park
complete with green space, athletic facilities like an archery range and
possibly even indoor hike and bike trails.Source:www.khou.com/story/n ews/local/2014/08/26 /county-judge-unveil s-plan-to-conve 4951

More parking is desperately needed on that property. 4951

I'd love to see another public use park. Why not? On weekends Discovery Green and Hermann Park are crowded. I know a lot of people are complaining about it being a waste of taxpayer money but this is the government we are talking about. They can find plenty of other ways to waste money even if this project isn't approved. 4951

@Drekonix: Exactly, so how crowded would it be if you have to pay the astro village parking prices to use it?

I think we should use it as a Hunger Games arena for the undesirables in the greater Houston area.Next to no investment required and think of the tax money saved over housing and feeding career criminals! 4951

The county is just trying to tick the public off to the point where we (the residents of Harris County) just don't care what happens to the dome.
 
I think they're almost there 4951

Not convenient for KW people to use as a park. It will cost a Mint to air condition it. That area needs to invest in offsite parking and use shuttle service to events. They need to find a private buyer. 4951
