[QUOTE="captainamerica, post: 26197"] From what I know, in 2000, the Astro's (Houston's baseball team) moved from there to a new field (open to the elements, I believe) and the Astrodome has just sat there, possibly being used for the occasional rodeo, dirt bike, or circus event. Whichever was in town at the time. I last went to that stadium in 1997 -- the place has no personality or atmosphere. It is a fundamentally boring structure that zaps any energy you might have. It is the antithesis of what a stadium should be. The seats are miles away from the where they place the playing field (I've seen both American football and baseball there). But, if cricket is strong in Texas, and they don't want the fans to melt, then I guess it's the right place for it.
