Where are you headed if you're going to "The Dome"?
Correct Incorrect Houston earned the nickname "The Dome" because of the Astrodome, a sports arena that hosted teams like the Astros, Oilers, and Rockets. Opened in 1965, it was once called the "Eighth Wonder of the World." All the teams have since moved to newer facilities, and the Dome closed in 2008. There have been discussions about either tearing it down or revitalizing it.
