| Transcript | NEW DOME STADIUM Cougars to Have New Home Field in 1965 The University of Houston football team will be the first in the world to play indoors. For the first time a team will be able to play on a dry field, no wind interference and guaranteed playing conditions. The Dome Stadium, first known as the home of the National League's Houston Colt 45's, is primarily a baseball park. By "pushing a button" the field is easily converted into use for football. One button is pushed and the seats along both the right and left field foul line are moved into position for football. This eliminates the problem of relocation of the prime seats. The whole process takes a total of five minutes. During the fall the Dome Stadium is also the home of the American Football League's Houston Oilers. Seating capacity for a major league baseball game will be 46,000 while for a Cougar home game a total of 53,000 can be seated. When a fan enters the stadium, nowhere will he have to climb more than 36 feet. 265 |
