With the new Lucas Oil Stadium complete and the Colts officially 'moved in' to their new place, the RCA Dome (aka the Hoosier Dome) can finally be demolished to make way for the convention center expansion. Today they started making this outwardly known (they started taking down interior stuff months ago). At approximately 10:50am this morning, after a 20 minute or so speech and remembrance of happenings at the Dome, a countdown could be heard for the fans that kept the roof afloat for so long to be turned off. Forever. And with that switch, the Dome began to deflate.
It took a good 35-45 minutes for it to disappear into its shell, but ultimately, it did. And with that, the skyline changed forever. All that's left are the memories.
I hadn't planned on it, but I did watch the whole thing and take pictures. If you flip through them sequentially, you can watch it deflate before your eyes. :)
One last view... the old stadium's reflection in the windows of its replacement.
