Tuesday marks 24 years since Seattle's iconic Kingdome was imploded.The massive venue was demolished on March 26, 2000, to make way for what is now Lumen Field. The Kingdome was officially retired after 24 years as one of the state's premiere sports stadiums, concert venues and convention centers.Over the decades, the stadium hosted the Mariners, Seahawks, SuperSonics and Sounders.
Throughout the 1980s, its ear-shattering echoes gave the Seahawks a reputation as having one of the loudest fanbases in the NFL, the Kitsap Sun reported in 1999. Seahawks games frequently sold out until the late 80s, when attendance began to dip.Those fans came back in the early 1990s when the Mariners began racking up winning seasons, drawing thousands to watch future Hall of Famers like Ken Griffey Jr., Edgar Martínez, Randy Johnson and Jay Buhner.
