RIP, RCA Dome

RCA Dome Today is deflation day for the 24-year-old RCA Dome. Former Mayor Bill Hudnut is scheduled to begin letting the air out at 10:30 a.m. The stadium was built for $82 million and completed in 1984 to entice the Baltimore Colts to move to Indianapolis. It hosted the Colts, four Final Fours, the NBA All-Star Game and hundreds of other events during its short lifespan. The dome’s 257-ton roof should take about 30 minutes to sink, with the rest of the demolition lasting several weeks. What are your RCA Dome memories? Will you miss it?
