RCA Dome Implosion, Indianapolis

On December 20, 2008, the RCA Dome (formerly known as the Hoosier Dome) was imploded to make way for more convention space. The stadium was replaced earlier this year by Lucas Oil Stadium. The Dome was the home of the Colts from 1984 (when they arrived in town) to 2008.

My dad and I watched from a 20th story window at the Hyatt, about a block and a half north. You'll hear the reactions of us and several other people who gathered.

Look towards the bottom of the Dome for the explosions, then watch the whole thing collapse into a pile of rubble and a cloud of dust.
