My dudes and dudettes, have you been to the Georgia Dome? You do not have a tremendous amount of time left in which to do such a thing. They're gonna blow it the HECK up sometime this Spring/Summer, as I understand it. You don't really have any more opportunities to go inside it--the ((MONSTER TRUCK JAM)) in March was the last public event there--so this entry is kind of a big ol' LATE PASS, but I had to post it while the structure still existed. ๐๐ป Donald and I visited back in January for the Honda Battle of the Bands, which was a more *marchy marchy, trumpety trumpety* than *guitar shreddy* kind of Battle of the Bands. Also, Ne-Yo was there! I was happy to get one last chance to visit the venue, and we had a lot of fun! ๐บ When it opened back in '92, the Georgia Dome was the largest covered stadium IN THE WORLD, but there are a couple of others that are bigger now. ๐ How big is it? Well, they could seat about 74,000 folks for a football game ๐, or about 80,000 for a concert (I saw U2 and Muse there once!) That is a lot of sports and/or The Edge fans. ๐ธ What was the last thing you saw in the Georgia Dome, if you ever got to go? ๐ค Some of the notable uses of the Georgia Dome include: The '96 Olympics, where it was halved to host both basketball ๐ and gymnastics; WrestleMania XXVII, featuring the return of The Rockโข and over 71,000 fans in attendance; numerous MONSTER JAMS and NITRO CIRCUS-type events; SuperBowl XXXIV in 2000 aka The Ray Lewis StabberBowl ๐ช; and just a WHOLE bunch of college bowl games. ๐ท One last point--the field here was originally covered with AstroTurf brand fake grass, but in 2003, Big Daddy Arthur Blank had that replaced with FieldTurf brand fake grass, apparently superior? I had no idea. Anyone ever felt the difference? Please share your thoughts. ๐พ Okay that's it for now--see y'all there for the demolition? ๐ฅ # #weloveatl #LEGO #Atlanta #legophotography #minifigures #Disney #DonaldDuck #Falcons #WWE #TheRock (at The Georgia Dome)
