Whether you saw it on CNN or on Yahoo, it didn't take long for you to watch a building that housed 25 years of events in Indianapolis crumble to the ground Saturday morning!Workers had spent the last few months demolishing the lower seating decks inside the RCA Dome and preparing it for the implosion that took place this past weekend. The police secured a one block perimeter around the facility and in the end, one of the best spots to watch was on the circle drive between the Omni Severin Hotel and Union Station.
My implosion party group joined friends and clients of the Omni on their west facing top floor rooms where we ended up providing some of the local news coverage with reaction and voiceovers for their reports. I ended up on the cutting room floor, but my friend's didn't!
Of course the excitement of the morning now gives way to the anticipation of the significant addition to our Indianapolis meeting space at the Indiana Convention Center. Crews will spend the next few months removing the rubble from the downtown Indianapolis construction site and begin laying the foundation for the new entrance and the breakout rooms that are on the north side of the expansion footprint.
