Kingdome, Multi-purpose stadium in Industrial District, Seattle, US
The Kingdome featured a concrete dome roof spanning 660 feet across, rising 250 feet high above an AstroTurf playing surface with three-tier grandstand seating.
King County voters approved 40 million dollars in municipal bonds for stadium construction in 1968, leading to its opening in 1976 and demolition in 2000.
The stadium hosted major events including the 1979 MLB All-Star Game, 1987 NBA All-Star Game, and three NCAA Final Four basketball tournaments.
The multipurpose facility contained 52,800 cubic yards of concrete, accommodating baseball, football, basketball, and soccer games with a capacity of 59,166 spectators.
The final debt payment for the Kingdome construction and repairs occurred in 2015, fifteen years after the building's controlled implosion.
