Pam Carlson, 54, a former cheerleader for the Houston Oilers from 1982-84 carries pom poms as she celebrates with others the 50th anniversary of the Astrodome stadium in Houston, Texas April 9, 2015. Texans on Thursday celebrated the 50th birthday of the Houston Astrodome, the world's first fully air-conditioned domed stadium once dubbed a global wonder and now a decaying structure with an uncertain future. The Astrodome, which has been gutted and vacant for years was opened to the public for a two-hour celebration where many took a trip down memory lane of the structure that was christened on April 9, 1965 when New York Yankees great Mickey Mantle hit a home run in an exhibition game.
