The Eighth Wonder of the World! The most beloved landmark in the city of Houston. But why? For starters, it was the first multi-purpose Domed stadium ever built, and featured the first major use of artificial grass which came to be known as "AstroTurf". It also was well-renowned for its 4 story score board named the Astrolite that was the worlds first animated scoreboard. But most of all, the Astrodome is most known for its memories.. "The Dome" hosted a diverse variety of historical events from "The Game Of The Century" that was the first nationally televised college basketball game as well as the first played in a Dome that set the standard for years to come, to the late Selena's LIVE! The Last Concert that was recorded at the Astrodome about a month before her death.
