Log every game you were physically at in this building—matchups, dates, and scores tied to nights you actually had a ticket at the Astrodome.
Astrodome Attendance History
The Astrodome was Houston's shared home from the Astros' first night here on April 12, 1965, until the last catalog event in 1999. Ticket Timeline helps you log every Astros and Oilers game you attended under that roof, even though the building no longer hosts sports.
This building is no longer a sports venue
An Astrodome stub is not a leftover from a place that no longer matters. The night still happened on this NRG Park footprint, even though the dome no longer hosts sports.
The Astrodome opened for the Astros in 1965 and later hosted the Oilers. Tickets said Astrodome or Houston Astrodome. Baseball and football sat under the same roof. Colt Stadium and Rice Stadium were different earlier homes, not this dome.
The Oilers' last night here in Ticket Timeline's data is December 15, 1996. The Astros' last night is October 3, 1999. The catalog marks lastEventYear 1999. The building was mothballed, not demolished.
The Astrodome itself still stands in the NRG Park complex, unused as a sports venue. NRG Stadium sits next to it — a different building, the Texans' home, not this dome.
Why track Astrodome attendance?
If your stub says Astrodome or Houston Astrodome, that is this building — mothballed, not demolished. Astros baseball ran here April 12, 1965 through October 3, 1999. Oilers football ran September 9, 1968 through December 15, 1996. Daikin Park and NRG Stadium are different buildings. Log baseball on the Houston Astros game tracker and football on the Houston Oilers game tracker.
An Astrodome stub tells you you were in the NRG Park complex. It does not tell you whether it was baseball or football, who was on the field, or whether your night was before the Astros left for the park downtown. Ticket Timeline closes that gap for a dome that no longer hosts games.
- Log Astros and Oilers games you personally attended in this building—not a live scoreboard.
- Match each night to real players, scores, and whether the game was baseball or football under the same roof.
- Keep Astrodome baseball separate from Daikin Park nights, and Oilers football separate from later Houston NFL buildings.
- Count those games toward your wider MLB and NFL venue progress.
- Import old stubs, spreadsheets, or Gmail confirmations instead of retyping every date.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I track games I attended at the Astrodome even though it no longer hosts sports?
Yes. Ticket Timeline is built for nights you already attended. An Astrodome stub still belongs on this page. Log Astros and Oilers games from this building; mothballing does not erase the box score.
Which team page should I use for an Astrodome ticket?
Use the Houston Astros game tracker for MLB nights and the Houston Oilers game tracker for NFL nights. This page is the building. The team pages hold the franchise archives.
Is a Minute Maid Park or Daikin Park ticket the same as an Astrodome ticket?
No. The Astros left the Astrodome after October 3, 1999, for the park now called Daikin Park. Those nights belong on a different building. Astrodome baseball ends with that 1999 date in Ticket Timeline's data.
Is NRG Stadium the Astrodome under a later name?
No. NRG Stadium — printed Reliant Stadium when it opened — is a different building next to the dome. Texans nights belong there. Oilers nights in this building ended December 15, 1996.
Can I import old Astrodome ticket stubs or spreadsheets?
Yes. Import a spreadsheet of attended games, scan ticket stubs, or import Gmail ticket confirmations. Ticket Timeline matches entries to league context so you are not retyping every Astrodome date.
Does Ticket Timeline sell tickets?
No. Ticket Timeline does not sell tickets. It is a stat tracker for games you've already attended, built to help you explore the players, moments, and milestones you witnessed at the Astrodome.
