Let’s make 2026 a great year for the Astrodome!
Houston’s most famous icon is ready for its next chapter - structurally sound, no asbestos, no debt. So many possibilities to become Houston’s #1 tourist attraction again.

What is needed - public support, activism and pressure; along with visionary private development partners. Houston was bold enough to create the Astrodome in the first place, we can repurpose it for a fabulous future.
Let’s let our elected officials and leaders of the Texans and Rodeo know that Houston wants to Save the Dome!

Visit our website and support the Astrodome Conservancy as we work with Harris County and partners as the only organization 100% dedicated to repurposing the world-Famous Astordome. We can do this!

We are astonished to learn that Harris County recently expanded the scope of their contract with Kirksey Architects, asking for cost estimates for yet another scenario (the fourth concept!) for demolishing the Astrodome. The planning for the Dome’s future is ongoing, and clearly the County is considering the possibility of demolition. The Astrodome is a protected Texas State Antiquities Landmark, so why are they spending our tax dollars on such studies? We want to work with Harris County to help find a workable and feasible solution, as we have put forward in our Vision: Astrodome. We need to let our County Commissioners and Harris County Sports and Convention Corporation members know the Dome must be saved! Help us spread the message before it’s too late. Send emails, repost this, sign the petition, talk to your friends, donate to the Conservancy to help support our advocacy work. We need you. Thank you.
