Dome Roof to be Transferred to Indy Parks
The fabric that covered the roof of the RCA Dome for more than 25 years will soon have a new home. On Friday morning Indy Parks & Recreation will take into possession dozens of pieces of the roof to use as umbrellas at the city's pools and shelter covers in parks. Sabre Demolition separated the fabric into pieces this week and placed them onto pallets. Veolia Water Indianapolis is providing the trucks to haul the material from the dome to a warehouse owned by Eli Lilly & Co., (NYSE: LLY) which is offering the storage space at no charge.

Press Release
Thursday, Oct. 2, 2008
INDIANAPOLIS – (Oct. 2, 2008) Tons of fabric that spanned the roof of the RCA Dome for more than 25 years will now find a new home in the City’s Parks system. On Friday morning, Indy Parks & Recreation will take into its possession dozens of pieces of the RCA Dome roof for use as umbrellas at the city’s pools and spray grounds and shelter covers in parks.
Sabre Demolition separated the roof fabric into pieces this week and placed them onto pallets for removal from the Dome. Veolia Water Indianapolis is providing the trucks to haul the material out of the Dome at 10 a.m. Friday. They will travel a short distance to be unloaded at a warehouse at the southwest corner of Delaware and South streets owned by Eli Lilly & Co, which is offering the storage space at no charge to the city.
“These recycled canopies created with the fabric from the Dome’s roof will provide shade and protection from the elements for all Indy Parks customers,” Lowry said. “Not only are we saving an important relic of our city’s history, but the durability of the fabric is so strong these structures will last a long, long time.”
Indy Parks Director Stuart Lowry and Principal Planner Andre Denman will be available at the warehouse beginning at 10 a.m. to answer questions about the future use of the material. Aero Industries CEO Jim Tuerk is in talks with the Department of Parks and Recreation to provide parts and labor to complete the new structures.
