You should have went to games in the Astrodome before the banned smoking. You could barely see the field

Do you remember what year that was?

The Google says 1995 for the seating areas, and 2006 for the rest due to citywide ban.

Was anything going on in the dome in 2006? Astros moved out around 2000.

Huh, I just don’t remember smoking in the dome in the 90’s. Maybe since I wasn’t a smoker I just blocked it from my memory.

I don’t recall. But if you look at the old oiler videos there is always a haze over the field due to the cigarette smoke. They also used to have cigarette machines all over the dome

The Tyndall Effect: When thousands of fans smoked in the enclosed, brightly lit stadium, microscopic smoke particles became suspended in the air. When the harsh overhead stadium lights hit these particles, it scattered the light, creating a glowing, hazy “fog”.

Add a few dozen monster trucks at the tractor pull and a demolition derby and a guy blowing himself up in a barrel, and the haze was even worse!

BTW, way off topic, but anyone else there at the Dome for this one? https://youtu.be/Tncdz1ph5n8?si=fIttNDG8hFAUZfx0
