Just about a month and a half until baseball season starts! To tide us over until March 31st when the M’s take on the Rangers, I dug up this 1979 Mariners program feature
on the Kingdome. Just in case you were dying to know w here
injured fans (who cheered too hard) were to be taken, how many men’s restrooms there were (15), and whether or not the facility was used for a circus (yes) — well, it’ s all here.
Go Mariners. Click on the images to investigate.

On the “building of the Kingdome” pics you can see the Seattle Plumbing Building, which was looked at here:

I could hear the booms lying in bed the morning they knocked it down. Bastards.
I like how handicapped fans are allowed to use BOTH elevators! Both of them! WOW! Thanks, Mariners. You’ve made this handicapped fan a fan for life!
Aren’t residents of King County still paying the bonds on the Kingdome until 2012? Or have they been retired.
I miss the Kingdome. :-/
Still paying, yup.
“Just about a month and a half until baseball season starts!”
I say, just 8 more months until it. Sorry I just don’t share your enthusiasm for baseball, Cliffe. Although, I love hearing and reading about the riod scandals. LOL.
I came of age in the Kingdome. I have great memories and knew just about every inch of that place! Qwest is still not even close to how loud the dome used to be.
