Inside the dome
Indianapolis - A change is coming to the skyline of Indianapolis.

The RCA Dome will be deflated later this month. It will happen on Wednesday, September 24th at 10:30 am. That's when large fans that create pressure to keep the roof inflated will be turned off.

According to the Indiana Stadium and Convention Building Authority, the deflation process will only take about 30 to 45 minutes.

A ceremony will feature former Mayor Bill Hudnut - during whose administration the stadium was built - flipping the switch that turns off the fans.

This is the next step in demolishing the Dome to make way for an expansion of the Indiana Convention Center.

The Dome's fabric roof will be cut up and sold as memorabilia. Order information.
