The  '''RCA Dome''' (originally '''Hoosier Dome''') was a [[domed stadium]] in [[Indianapolis]]. It was the home of the [[Indianapolis Colts]] [[National Football League|NFL]] franchise for 24 seasons ([[1984 Indianapolis Colts season|1984]]–[[2007 Indianapolis Colts season|2007]]).

It was completed at a cost of $77.5 million, as part of the [[Indiana Convention Center]], with the costs split between private and public money. The largest crowd to attend an event at the Dome was 62,167 for [[WrestleMania VIII]] in 1992. It was demolished on December 20, 2008, as part of a project to expand the attached convention center.

==Description==
The [[Taiyo Kogyo Corporation#Birdair|Birdair]]-designed dome was made up of [[teflon]]-coated [[fiberglass]] and weighed {{convert|257|ST|LT t|lk=on}}, which was held up by the [[air-supported structure|air pressure inside the building]]. The ceiling was {{convert|193|ft|m}} high, though the height varied up to {{convert|5|ft}} as the materials expanded and contracted with the weather.{{Citation needed|date=July 2024}}

Like other domes of this style (the [[Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome]], [[BC Place]], the [[JMA Wireless Dome]], and the [[Pontiac Silverdome]]) there were warning signs posted cautioning patrons of the high winds at the doors when exiting the facility.{{Citation needed|date=July 2024}}

Construction for the Hoosier Dome began in May 1982.<ref>{{Cite web |last= |first= |date=6 January 2008 |title=Hoosier/RCA Dome timeline |url=https://www.heraldtimesonline.com/story/news/2008/01/06/hoosierrca-dome-timeline/117923372/ |access-date=2024-08-15 |website=The Herald-Times |language=en-US}}</ref>

The domed stadium was similar in design and appearance to the Metrodome and the previous [[BC Place]] roof, owing in great part to the involvement of engineers [[David H. Geiger|David Geiger]] and Walter Bird, pioneers in air-supported roofs.<ref>{{cite web |title=A Stadium with a "Lid"|first=Claude|last=Charlier|url=http://www.columbia.edu/cu/gsapp/BT/PAPERS/smthsnian.html|work=Smithsonian|publisher=Columbia University|date=January 1988|access-date=February 4, 2019}}</ref>

The stadium was originally named the [[Hoosier]] Dome until 1994 when [[RCA (trademark)|RCA]] paid $10 million for the [[naming rights]] for 10 years, with two 5-year options to RCA at a cost of $3.5 million if invoked.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Hoosier, er, RCA Dome |url=https://www.tampabay.com/archive/1994/08/04/hoosier-er-rca-dome/ |access-date=2024-06-14 |website=Tampa Bay Times |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2019-08-15 |title=Throwback: Hoosier Dome becomes RCA Dome |url=https://www.wrtv.com/news/throwback/throwback-hoosier-dome-becomes-rca-dome |access-date=2024-08-15 |website=WRTV Indianapolis |language=en}}</ref> The stadium seated 56,127 for [[American football|football]], the smallest in the [[National Football League season|NFL]]. Modifications were made to the stadium in 1999 to expand the suites and add club seating. Before that, the maximum seating for a football crowd was 60,272. The stadium was built to lure a National Football League team to Indianapolis, and as the stadium was being completed, [[Baltimore Colts relocation to Indianapolis|the Baltimore Colts relocated to Indianapolis on March 29, 1984]].<ref>{{Cite web |last=Scheibe |first=John |date=2020-03-29 |title=This day in sports: Robert Irsay moves the Colts from Baltimore to Indianapolis in 1984 |url=https://www.latimes.com/sports/story/2020-03-29/this-day-in-sports-robert-irsay-moves-colts-from-baltimore-to-indianapolis |access-date=2024-06-18 |website=Los Angeles Times |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Thompson |first=Adam |date=2023-03-28 |title='It degrades a great tradition': 39 years ago, football was ripped away from Baltimore - CBS Baltimore |url=https://www.cbsnews.com/baltimore/news/it-degrades-a-great-tradition-39-years-ago-football-was-ripped-away-from-baltimore/ |access-date=2024-06-18 |website=www.cbsnews.com |language=en-US}}</ref>

The Dome was officially dedicated on August 11, 1984, as a sellout crowd watched the [[1984 Indianapolis Colts season|Indianapolis Colts]] defeat the [[1984 New York Giants season|New York Giants]] in an NFL preseason game. The [[1984 Buffalo Bills season|Buffalo Bills]] and [[1984 Chicago Bears season|Chicago Bears]] played a preseason game at the Hoosier Dome on August 26, 1984,<ref>{{Cite news |date=1984-08-26 |title=SUNDAY SPORTS Baseball |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1984/08/26/sports/sunday-sports-baseball.html |access-date=2024-06-18 |work=The New York Times |pages=8 |language=en-US |issn=0362-4331}}</ref> which had been scheduled prior to the Colts moving in.

The football playing surface was originally [[AstroTurf]], and replaced with [[FieldTurf]] in 2005.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Colts to put FieldTurf down in RCA Dome |url=https://www.patriots.com/news/colts-to-put-fieldturf-down-in-rca-dome-90196 |access-date=2024-05-02 |website=www.patriots.com |language=en-US}}</ref>

===Demolition===
On September 24, 2008, the roof of the Dome was deflated, which took about 35 minutes.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2008-09-24 |title=RCA Dome roof deflated to prepare for demolition |url=https://www.espn.com/espn/wire?section=nfl&id=3606703 |access-date=2024-05-02 |website=ESPN.com |language=en}}</ref> The building itself was imploded on December 20, 2008, by [[Controlled Demolition, Inc.]],<ref>{{Cite web |author=Staff Writer |title=RCA Dome implodes in pile of dust, rubble |url=https://www.pjstar.com/story/sports/2008/12/21/rca-dome-implodes-in-pile/42514325007/ |access-date=2024-05-02 |website=Peoria Journal Star |language=en-US}}</ref> and was featured on the second series premiere of the National Geographic show ''[[Blowdown (TV series)|Blowdown]]''.

==Events==

===Football===
Although the RCA Dome never hosted any [[Super Bowls]], it played host to the [[2006-07 NFL playoffs|2006 AFC Championship Game]],<ref name=":1">{{Cite web |date=2022-01-30 |title=15 years ago Colts defeat Patriots in historic comeback for AFC Championship |url=https://horseshoeheroes.com/2022/01/30/colts-defeat-patriots-historic-comeback-afc-championship/ |access-date=2024-06-28 |website=Horseshoe Heroes |language=en-US}}</ref> which saw the Colts erase a 21–3 deficit for a come-from-behind 38–34 win over the [[2006 New England Patriots season|New England Patriots]] in what would ultimately be the only [[AFC Championship Game]] hosted at the RCA Dome.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Colts 38-34 Patriots (Jan 21, 2007) Final Score |url=https://www.espn.com/nfl/game/_/gameId/270121011/patriots-colts |access-date=2024-06-28 |website=ESPN |language=en}}</ref><ref name=":1" />

The RCA Dome also hosted three AFC Divisional Round games in [[1999-00 NFL playoffs|1999]], [[2005-06 NFL playoffs|2005]],<ref>{{Cite web |last=Tierney |first=Hunter |date=2024-08-03 |title=Throwback to the Wild 2005 Steelers-Colts Playoff Battle |url=https://www.givemesport.com/nfl-playoffs-colts-steelers-2005-greatest-playoff-game-ever/ |access-date=2024-08-05 |website=GiveMeSport |language=en}}</ref> and [[2007-08 NFL playoffs|2007]],<ref>{{Cite web |last=Matthes |first=Jonathan |title=There I Stood on the Cursed Snow: The 2007 AFC Title Game, Five Years Later |url=https://bleacherreport.com/articles/1033163-there-i-stood-on-the-cursed-snow-the-2007-afc-title-game-five-years-later |access-date=2024-08-05 |website=Bleacher Report |language=en}}</ref> with the Colts posting an 0–3 record in those games; the [[2005 AFC Divisional playoff game (Pittsburgh–Indianapolis)|2005 game]], which saw the heavily favored Colts lose to the [[2005 Pittsburgh Steelers season|Pittsburgh Steelers]] 21–18 in one of the biggest upsets in NFL history (en route to the Steelers' victory in [[Super Bowl XL]]), is best remembered for Colts cornerback [[Nick Harper]] recovering a [[Jerome Bettis]] fumble only for [[Mike Vanderjagt]] to miss the game-tying field goal at the end of the game. The RCA Dome also hosted three AFC wild card games in [[2003-04 NFL playoffs|2003]],<ref name=":1" /> [[2004-05 NFL playoffs|2004]], and [[2006-07 NFL playoffs|2006]], with the Colts winning all three games. The Colts' 28–24 loss to the [[2007 San Diego Chargers season|San Diego Chargers]] in the 2007 Divisional Round proved to be the stadium's final game before the Colts moved on to Lucas Oil Stadium the following season.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Chargers 28-24 Colts (Jan 13, 2008) Final Score |url=https://www.espn.com/nfl/game/_/gameId/280113011/chargers-colts |access-date=2024-06-28 |website=ESPN |language=en}}</ref>

===Basketball===
In addition to football, the RCA Dome hosted several basketball games. The first was an exhibition game in 1984 between an [[National Basketball Association|NBA]] All-Star team led by home-state hero [[Larry Bird]] and the United States [[1984 Summer Olympics|Olympic]] Men's [[1984 United States men's Olympic basketball team|Basketball]] team, coached by [[Bob Knight]], who was at the time the coach of [[Indiana University Bloomington|Indiana University]].
