Demolition
On September 24, 2008, the roof of the Dome was deflated. It took about 45 minutes to deflate the dome portion of the roof. The demolition of the RCA Dome was featured on the second series premier of the National Geographic show Blowdown.
During the process, the roof material was collected by People for Urban Progress, a local Indianapolis non-profit organization, and put to fresh use. Using the remaining material, and with the help of several local artists, People for Urban Progress designed and created messenger bags, wallets, clutches and bike messenger bags, all of which are uniquely hand-crafted using the white, red, and black fabric that came from the dome.
