    I found this funny because all of the fuss about the Memorial Coliseum.

    If the Astrodome (known at the time as the 8th wonder of the world) can be imploded, so can the MC.

    I'm surprised they couldn't find a high school football team to take it over. High schools in Texas have amazingly nice football stadiums.

    But we need the MC to sit empty and cost lots of money to maintain instead of having a baseball stadium with the A's or Rays in it!

    I wanted to see the MC razed and a nice little 7,000 person stadium built for high school, UP and PSU soccer and football.

    Should have been razed and made into an entertainment district. Strip clubs and such...

    Why don't they keep the building and turn it into a strip club?

    The high school could rent it to a strip club except for Friday and Saturday nights. Makes sense for Houston, too.

    How are those Blazer tickets selling right now? Enough to also support a MLB team here? I doubt they would sell a larger percent of their seats than the Beavers did.

    I'm hoping the MC goes down in a similar path. A total waste of space.
