All We Want Is Life Beyond The Sports Dome

On Boxing Day, the Thunder Bay Sports Dome deflated, much to the chagrin of local jocks and sports-bunnies.
One of the main concerns expressed by the public in the face of this mysterious incident was "is the sports dome safe?  Will it collapse while my family and I are trying to putt on the mini course?"

Well, your family would have to be pretty shitty at escaping if they were killed in a freak sports dome deflation.  It goes less like this...

 

And more like this...but about 40 minutes slower.



The power of the dark side of The Force deflates you.

If you opened the link at the start of this post and read the comments on the news article, you will find that the people of Thunder Bay are really mad that the CLE (Northern Ontario's answer to the Canadian National Exhibition) isn't as good now as it was in the 70s and it's all thanks to the Sports Dome.  Thunder Bay - holding grudges about penny carnivals since the 70s.  It's the new town slogan.

  1. Well that Sportsdome is Ugly Ugly Ugly and I wish it had flown away with Mr. Fredricksen and Russell to South America. But the CLE grounds are an eyesore with or without it.

    Oh great news - We Don't Need Another Hero- is running around in my head like a worm now - thanks Maggie and Sean. Gone to Youtube....out of the ruins, out of the wreckage etc over and over and over and over.......

    But Sean will know that there is connection here - Thunderdome !!!!! Tell Maggie all about that.
