If the city put 1/8 of the money towards the Kingdome, My God...the Kingdome would have new life...Like putting a new engine with a turbo on an old car....I will never forgive GARY LOCKE for ruining my visits to Watch the Mariners or Seahawks.

Now being 20 ...I ponder ...."WHY"? Why would they implode this stadium? I remember the fixes the city did a year or two before when that poor man died...just to find out..we were gonna blow it up a year later?
Seriously...how much did it cost to 1. Implode/clean up the kingdome 2. build safeco 3. build qwest field...

You know,

I must be the biggest 1995 Mariner fan ever...I was 7 at the time and not one season has been more impressionable on a kid than that season was to me. I can't count the number of times I've watched "My oh my"! And .....I dont know why, but just remembering going to the mariner games and finally walking up the little walkway to finally see the bright green astroturf was like heaven for a 7 year old...

The first event held in the Kingdome was the Billy Graham Crusade. The RV and Mobilehome Show Corporation agreed to give up the first event position it acquired ten years before the opening, to give the stadium a bigger opening day. ~ Neal Vonada
