[edit] Move to "Kingdome"
I don't know of any other Kingdomes and "Seattle Kingdome" is neither the official name or the common name. —TeknicT-M-C 08:00, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Photo
If anyone can find a public domain photo of the Kingdome, it would make a nice addition to the info box... Zdv 07:28, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
- I'm going to look through my personal photos to see if I can find a decent one to release as PD -- Jwinters | Talk 20:39, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Skateboarder on roof
If anyone knows the full story about the guy who skateboarded on the roof before in was imploded they should add it.
[edit] Name
Fine, you win, I just been annoyed with the "The" being omitted, it sounds wrong to simply say Kingdome. Soxrock 01:28, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
- I agree that the "article" should be included in proper syntax. References keep us out of conflicts, sometimes! :-) Thanks for your help. Larry --Lmcelhiney 15:35, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Jon Behrens
I removed the line at the end of the first paragraph about how the Kingdome implosion was recorded by "legendary avante-gard experimental film maker Jon Behrens, who famously... blah blah" First, there is no suggestion anywhere that "Jon Behrens" is all that lengendary.. it looks like he, or some obsessed fan, wrote his wikipedia entry, and second, this mini-dedication to Jon Behrens deserves no place on the Wikipedia article about the Kingdome. 10,000 more important things happened to or happened in the Kingdome than Jon Behran's life-altering film.

[edit] "Trivia"
"The Kingdome is featured prominently in the scenery of the Gran Turismo 2 Seattle tracks. The Kingdome is destroyed by Soviet artillery in World in Conflict"
Some may call this trivia worthy of removal, but I think it should be included. This is because the stadium no longer exists, and these games feature it, and for sports historians its a novelty to be able to see the stadium in the game when its not here today. A similar issue comes to mind with NHL '99, the final game to include Maple Leaf Gardens as an active arena. Ypsidan 01:13, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

- Well, since those items qualify as being trivia under WP:TRIVIA, they will be removed as trivia. Renaming the section doesn't make the items themselves any more significant or consequential. Also, calling that section "How to see the stadium today," is misleading (and somewhat ridiculous) since those are virtual representations of the stadium and it implies that there is something tangible left of the stadium onsite or elsewhere. This isn't the case, and that section, no matter what it's called, will continue to be removed. Cumulus Clouds 21:41, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
Fair enough :-) Ypsidan 01:40, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
I included references so this doesn't violate WP:COS, but I was in attendance at two events (the 1976 WSU-USC football game and the 1996 earthquake-suspended baseball game; I skipped the Billy Graham crusade) I just edited in here. ;-) BSVulturis 23:05, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Cookie cutter stadium category
At best the Cookie cutter stadiums article is an Original Research essay. It shows a remarkable misunderstanding and contempt for stadium design. I removed this category. Group29 18:44, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
