  • You have the wrong area outlined here. The stadium was actually located in the parking lot just north of Reliant Stadium
  • I've moved the polygon to the right spot, but it's not moving everything else. If you look at the picture of both the Astrodome and Colt Stadium, you can see that the stadium lied along West Stadium Drive, just north of the old outer circle drive in the parking lot, which is still shown in the map version of the area. Just the right field corner was in the Reliant Center convention center building; most of the rest was where the power station is now.
