| The Kingdome, or the King County Multipurpose Domed Stadium, opens in 1976 with a crowd of 54,000 celebrants and 6,000 performers, including a choir of 1,717 voices from 23 schools and a band of 2,680 instruments from 32 schools. The ceremonies coincide with the nation’s bicentennial, and include square dancers, barbershop quartets and log rolling. During its first year, the Kingdome sees more than 2.4 million visitors. The stadium is imploded on March 26, 2000, one day short of 24 years after its opening. |
