Today the RCA Dome, better known to all as the Hoosier Dome was deflated.
This was done to assist in demolition, as it has been replaced by Lucas Oil Stadium (In the background). The space occupied by the RCA dome will become yet another expansion of the Indiana Convention Center.
Many memories were made in the dome, but no more will be made there. Rachel and I purchased a piece of that roof as a keepsake. I highly recommend to buy one yourself if you have any fond memories of the dome.
I took this panorama picture the last time we visited the dome during ISSMA marching band finals. We were there to see my niece Sabrina play the clarinet for Forest Park.
To get a better grasp of the scale, look at the 1/2 size version here. I had to make the picture that much smaller just to fit within flickr’s size limitation.
Back in the day, J&B on the ROX did an episode based on the changing of the dome’s name. It’s called “The RCA State” and definitely good viewing.
These are the changes I don’t really like to see. I still miss Market Square Arena.
In these times, I’m really starting to hate corporate sponsorship of whats seems to be everything under the sun. Can you believe that the Verizon Wireless Music Center’s (formerly Deer Creek) box office is sponsored by Taco Bell?
