How many people can sit in the Astrodome and watch a sporting event?

[proud2BlibKansan]

60,000?

70,000?

80,000?

But we are to believe that it will only hold 12,000 brown skinned poor people who are homeless from Katrina?

1. I understand your point

but honestly how many hours can you sit in a seat?

[proud2BlibKansan]

3. WHAT??

These people have nowhere else to go. The fire marshall in Houston has declared the Astrodome 'full'. But it is now holding maybe 20% of the number of people who sit in it and watch a sporting event.

Someone please explain this to me.

6. Well the only logical answer is that the Bush Administration

Is purposefully trying to kill poor black people from New Orleans.

Haven't you been reading along?

2. But they've cots on the playing field I think--and you'd think someone

would notice there isn't enough room for all those people BEFORE they started sending them there.

4. Those people need beds!

I don't disagree with using the cots and letting the rest.

5. big difference between watching a game for 3 hours and LIVING THERE

7. Most NFL fans dont bring cotts or bags of clothing...!!!

Yes 12000 is plenty for this kind of building...

Have you ever been to a sports stadium?

I hate Bush too - but dont start grasping at straws...

8. Yep ...

80,000 people for 4 hours is insane enough. 12,000 people for anything more than a week (and they are talking months), will be pushing it.
