Filmed over the course of two years, this 16mm sound film was produced by the architectural firm that designed the structure, and the companies that built it. $31,600,000 total cost. Shows scenes spanning from the bare dirt, through construction, to opening day in 1965. Unfortunately the film has "gone red" due to deterioration.

I wish I could’ve been alive back in the 70’s , 80’s & 90’s to see the Astros play inside the Astrodome

It's great to see this film again. Say 'hello' to my Grandfather and some great uncles when you see them in a couple of scenes.

I got to see the Astros and a couple motor crosses in the dome. Wish it still held events. #mattressmackbuythedome

If they had planned ahead, and added 15,000 more seats for football, the Oilers might have stayed.

They had planned on making it a convention center called "The Dome". It had renderings and promotions but Houston tax payers says, Yeah, no! and the vote was rejected.
