the nrg astrodome, formerly known as just the houston astrodome, is called the "eighth wonder of the world" by many as it is the first domed structure of its size created without a pillar supporting it in the center. the astrodome opened for business on april 9, 1965 and was the home of the houston astros and houston oilers for over 30 years before both teams moved out, the former to minute maid park and the latter to nashville, tennessee. the astrodome has been the home of many other special events, including the republican national convention, the nba all-star game, and world wrestling federation (wwf) wrestlemania x-seven. the venue has also seen the likes of historic recording artists such as elvis presley. until 2002, nrg astrodome was also the host of the houston livestock show and rodeo, the largest of its kind in the world. the last concert in nrg astrodome was the largest attended event ever in the building, featuring george strait on march 3, 2002 at the livestock show and rodeo where he sang to 68,266 people.
