- 20 years ago the Kingdome was imploded in Seattle, Washington. Home to the Seattle Seahawks, Mariners, and Sonics, the multi-purpose stadium opened in 1976 and was an icon of the city. Check out a handful of different angles, some in high-definition, from the significant moment in Pacific Northwest history.

i remember watching this on tv my dad was sad. you could see it in his eyes. he worked on all the concrete on the roof of the kingdom when they first built it. ill never forget the kingdom was the very first baseball game i ever went to as a kid.
More reason to wear the throwback jerseys from the 90's... Royal blue and silver pants. I've already asked Russ number of times. Let's make it happen for the real HAWK fans
Ej Conley i can make that happen and it probily will
:)
This is a great idea! If the Mariners do it we should too. I actually still have my "junior seahawks" duffle and jersey. The jersey was my brother's but it fit me up until high school even though it was a youth. And I still have it for my kid too!
Pete's response was then they would have to get rid of their alternates, which are pretty cool, but the retros are sentimental
@@JoeKkkkkkkkkllllll if u got pull make it happen. I even DM Coach Carrol to wear them. Of course no response.
Damn helmet rule
Seattle has never been the same since the dome was blown down. I only got to go there one time, I was five years old at the time and that was during the mariners 1998 season. Even though many complained about this stadium, it was a legendary dome.
I went there in July 1997. I got to see Randy Johnson pitch a 16 strikeout game, and A-Rod and Jr. were still Mariners too. The place looked awful. Seattle deserved a new stadium.
Same I went there as a kid and loved monster jam
Nah, Kingdome is a ripoff of Astrodome, and it look terrible, so it’s a good decision to build Lumen Field, which is far better than the Kingdome
@@curious5887 It was only 24 years old. It should have had a longer life.
@@dvferyance well, most human made things never had the same lifespans as their human creator because you need to maintain them, which would sometimes cost millions of dollars per year to maintain
RIP Kingdome (1976-2000)
THE KINGDOME. ..GOOD TIMES. GOOD MEMORIES. LOVE MY HAWKS.
Seattle all the way. Seattle nation BABY. 💚💚💚💙💙💙💙💙💙💚💚
First time I was ever in there, was for Sounders game. Was on the second level and Ian Bridge scored with a bicycle kick. Place was so loud, I couldn't even hear my own chearing.
I was there for this, standing near Union Station. Unforgettable. The cloud of dust absolutely covered us in soot.
Yep
You mean the clouds of asbestos.
@@jared1804 Even worse is the respirable silica. 10,000+ cases of cancer from the dust cloud from the WTC collapse.
I remember when this happened! So glad I was able to see my first Mariners AND Seahawks game there. I still have pieces of the rubble from it thanks to a family friend who wss nearby to spectate. This is bittersweet🙃
You got a piece of the Kingdome still
@@christinashinkle4570 yep lol
We will always remember the Kingdome Stadium
I think beast mode earth quake is louder than this.
That was a sad day.
Why?
InternetSavage a lot of history??
Not really - it was an ugly building that became a death trap and cost people lives. While it did bring Baseball and Football to Seattle, it did not really provide a good venue for either. What we have now is objectively better in every regard.
The sad part was that the tax-payers continued to pay for the King Dome years after it's destruction.
@@Sakyosha you can not forget about the Supersonics
I was able to see this in person. Quite a sight to see
I remember seeing it go down while watching from Bainbridge island in my back yard while also watching it on Komo4. It was amazing to see the implosion on TV and from the beach, then some time after distinctively hear and feel the sound of each charge hit me from across the water.
A friend of my mom’s called while freaking out and saying that she thinks we’re under attack or a war is breaking out. She had no clue the demolition was happening.
The last time I was there it was for a Supercross event. Some great memories at the dome. Watching the Mariners when Griffey and A-Rod were still young. I was there with my cousins for that Yankees game in 95, was 9 years old. What an incredible nigh “My Oh My!”. Then after walking down those huge ramps that go around the stadium while everyone was in the best mood. The streets in downtown packed with happy fans on their way home. I miss those days so much.
Thanks for sharing!!!!!
I have great memories of the dome. When I would visit Seattle, if there was nothing going on at the kingdome you could park in their parking lot. It was really cheap and it was always open.
I'll never forget,Seattle's silver endzones. They were badass. Honestly,I've never heard of the 12th man up until '03. Seattle wasn't rocking in the 90s,besides Pearl Jam,Nirvana,Spin Doctors,Counting Crows (unsure), and Soundgarden aka Grunge. Still time this day,I hold a grudge vs Miami. First time watching Seattle in the postseason was against Miami and they lost. I swear,Seattle's AFCW time in the 90s were irrelevant. Only Seahawks fans can acknowledge Dan McGwire,Rick Mirer,Curt Warner,Chris Warren,Joey Galloway,Brian Blades,Ricky Watters,Chad Brown. ; etc. Yeah,Seahawks fans were still LOUD & PROUD at Washington Huskies stadium. Authentic fans of Seattle exists. Unfortunately,all of us has a negative reputation being a fan since "12." Anyone ignorantly saying that hasn't been watching football long enough. I've had Joey Galloway's jersey since '99 and everytime I wear Galloway's jersey in public. Some random idiot says : "Nice throwback." Seattle has probably one of the most loyal fans in the NFL. As bad Seattle was in the 90s. Loyal fans expressed their support at the Kingdome.
Soundgarden 🤘
When Jacob Green arrived in Seattle, and heard about the 12th Man, he said, "We have the 12th man at Texas A&M too."
He was the Seahawks first round pick in 1980.
The Seahawks retired #12 on Dec. 15th, 1985.
The Kingdome always, Always rocked.
@@ccsg1313 Alice in Chains too 🤘🏻🎶🎸
Seattle stole 12th man from Dallas Texas
@@Iamyodaddy_ I believe the Seahawks payed Texas A&M quite a but of money to use the "12th man" slogan. I don't know if that deal is still going on nor do I particularly care.
I watched it happen from the closed viaduct. Then walked home through downtown. Even as far north as Stewart street, there was a decent layer of cement dust on everything. Very rare and cool thing to experience.
What an awesome name for a venue!
I'll keep my memories of this it's really sad and I miss your whole football game. 💙💚💙💚
....blown to Kingdome come. RIP
I always think of Chris Cornell and Ed Vedder that morning watching the Kingdom blow up!
I Stand With Soundgarden ❤
Where were they watching it? I dont know the story.
From the Admiral West Seattle viewpoint! I was ten years old at the time. I was standing with my family, spectating, and I was standing right next to Mr Cornell!
I remember getting to see Dan Marino play us one last time in that stadium.
As john madden called it “the world’s largest orange juice squeezer.”
Imagine seeing this without knowing it was gonna happen that day :o
SAW MY FIRST MARINERS GAME THERE. I REMEMBER THE DAY THEY IMPLODED IT. I RECORDED IT ON VHS! HAHA
I remember the Kingdome Implosion was when I was age of 2 in 2000.
0:52 I like that they also filmed it in infrared too.
Where were you when the Kingdome fell? Never forget. Go 'Hawks!
I came here after watching Edgar hit The Double.
Almost 30 years later I can remember that play by play word for word. RIP Dave
Fare thee well, old friend.
best team superbowl here we come
RIP King
0:01 Earrape warning
I was lucky enough to see Led Zeppelin there.. Nothing stays the same.
czcams.com/video/CAAL9Zriuts/video.html 45 years ago Scott!
@@zinabreatomic2205 Got it thank you have a Rocking great day !!!
I wonder how long it took for the dust cloud to dissipate.
Not a Seahawks fan, but I love this remaster.
Definitely bring back the throwback original Seahawks uniforms
Colors: English Royal Blue
Cascade Kelly Green
Sparkling Winter Silver
Alpine Snow White
These are the original colors........
Thanks 👍🏈🇺🇸
cringe
Maybe it’s because I generally prefer dark colors, but I think their current ones are much better.
Saw The Who there in 1982
I’m not sure what condition it was in, but I really liked how it looked, and I hated to see it go.
RIP 🪦 headphones
😭😭😭😭
Go hawks
When Seattle was Seattle! Free Ballard...
The Kingdome what a great arena it was. But it's maybe fair to say that "didn't age well"
This was more of an explosion since some things flew outward
0:58 look at the top left corner the camera died XD (r.i.p camera 📷 😢 ❤)
😯
That building was an excellent example of early 1970s architecture and engineering.
Omg, couldn’t they have tried to scare the birds away first lol.
Top right camera 0:57 to 1:00
Back then it was all about the mariners
Hey Arnold's own Helga Pataki's 13th Birthday 2000.
Looks like Building 7
"Aw crabapples!"
😓😭
Gg
Ka boom
Nice go Seahawks
What led up to the kingdome being imploded
Old age
the collapse looked a lot like the towers ..
Yep. Almost too much like it
It's because they were both controlled demolitions. All 4 of them.
Eye witnesses reported a sea of rats running in all different directions immediately after the detonation.
Would be even better without the music.
They should have never have destroyed the kingdom
Poor Kingdome
Should done that to the whole city
It was nice back then. It was safe at all hours of the day and night. They cleaned the streets every night. Unbelievable what it has devolved into.
Booom
ahh seattle washington the charasmatic enigma
Why would you tear down a cover stadium to build an uncover stadium??
sharron ward safety, them 12s get loud frfr, its no joke its better to have it on open space then a close one, even tho a dome id love a dome
The Kingdome was falling apart and was a dumb at that point. It was a cooker cutter stadium which means it can hold Baseball and Football, but the dimensions for each sport are different which makes seats near the sideline not even close to the sideline. I'm glad they replaced the Kingdome with T-Mobile for the Mariners and CLink for the Seahawks.
Usually it’s because of greedy owners. But the King dome was falling apart so it had to go.
Poor KIngdome
That sucks!
Sad reacts only.
I guess it casued a small earthquake
What what happened
Random YT thats our old dome, we got rid of it.
@@thebigman9705 and then proceeded to play at UW stadium until century link was built haha.
OhLeahLRae yeh lol
A dome was falling apart so we exploded it and made it fall apart all at once, creating a big BOOM
@@christinashinkle4570 You reply a YEAR LATER
Sad
What happened
Intentional implosion we rebuilt c link in that spot
Big BOOM happened
I will not miss the urine smell.
No
Practice run before the trade center…
When this happened, they were already in the process if not done with prestaging the thermite in the towers and Building 7.
Heavily edited.
Went down just like World Trade Towers implosion.
Scrolled thru all comments to finally read a good one! Thumbs up sir
All controlled demos look basically the same.
Only a trash team like the Seahawks would post a video of their stadium being destroyed.
Hypothetically, could you imagine the Lakers posting a video of the Forum being destroyed? NOPE
A trash team that won a superbowl! Besides, the stadium being destroyed was a pre-amble of the NEW stadium to be later built. An outside stadium. All that said, I hate the fact that stadiums today have corporate names, or ideology names instead of local names. The word "King" was due to the name of the county, which later was redefined for Martin Luther King. Now, it's called Lumen Field, previously known as Quest Field, and Century Link Field. When the Seattle Supersonics were here, their stadium used to be known as Seattle Center Coliseum. Now, it's Climate Pledge Arena.
