The cavernous Astrodome, the former home of the Houston Astros and Houston Oilers
(prior to their move to Nashville, TN). The roof was made of structural
steel with glass panels because the field was originally grass. However, the
grass did not grow well and the owners developed an artificial grass, made
(in)famous as "AstroTurf". You can also see the funky Astros
colors ringing the upper deck. These were the Astro uniform colors back in
the "softball jersey" days of the 1970's and 1980's.
