I think this was the exact broadcast I watched live at 7 years old; it was the first time I heard the word "implosion", ha ha. Now that Safeco Field's been around for 12-13 years, I often completely forget about the Kingdome ever existing (then again, I don't ever remember watching baseball or attending a Mariners game pre-1999, so it wasn't a huge part of my childhood :p). Ah, memories.

@hobie9999 Safeco Field. Huh! My cousin's 5 year old could have come up with a better name than that.

@hillmert The roof was actually a ribbed dome of steel re-bar with concrete poured around it. The shape was designed to maximize support. The interior of the roof was lined with acoustic tiles, a few of which fell off in 1994 and caused the stadium to close in the middle of the baseball season. The tiles were replaced and other remodeling work done at a cost of $120M, which was more than double what the stadium cost to build in the first place. Five years later, they blew it all up.

i already destroyed it in World in Conflict, this is fake

How did they keep that concrete roof from collapsing throughout all of those years?

Why did the King Dome get imploded?
CelesteK 1 month ago
@CelesteK A number of reasons. Primarily to make room for the new football stadium which now stand on the site. Also, the Mariners no longer used the Dome after they built Safeco Field. Also, many people thought the building was ugly and wanted it gone.
