Week 11 State Rankings

[19PNGndn68]

Yoo, Greg Powers thanks. So what happened to Matt? he's a pro-realist; I respect his perspective even if I disagree.
Honestly I wouldn't rank us very high right now either and I'm glad the rankings are meaningless now anyway. One game at a time, win or lose, love-em unconditionally. No way to know how injuries or bouncing balls go.
Go PNG and good luck to the others in our district this year. Yes, even our cousins in Nederland
GO MCM2 @ NRG this year.

Fate is a good thing. Texans are playing in Jacksonville that weekend so NRG is open and there are no concerts etc. conflicts. One game at a time. As the song goes I am Just a believer.

Yep, that would’ve been awesome! I did see they’re FINALLY gonna do something with it, if the plans are approved. I hoped it could one day be renovated and used as a sports/concert stadium again, but anything is better than just letting it sit there and rot! https://www.houstonpublicmedia.org/...ans-for-the-eighth-wonder-of-the-world/?amp=1

$250M on a stadium transformation and another $750M on surrounding construction.

The Astrodome originally cost $40M to construct. That’s approx $418M in 2024 dollars.

There’s no way to reproduce the magic of that place as a sports venue in the 60s and 70s. There was no place like it.

I’ll believe it when I see it

There’s probably been 5 proposals like this including an indoor “winter park” including downhill skiing

If RODEO HOUSTON is against it

“It ain’t gonna happen”
Unfortunately
Too much money behind RH AND too many
Rackets surrounding it
That’s like the biggest money laundering organization in existence

True! This plan definitely seems to have RH written all over it though…we shall see. It would be nice to have an entertainment complex similar to Texas Live and the other venues by AT&T Stadium.

The Houston Metro light rail route was built to carry spectators / conventioners from the NRG arenas to the downtown Civic Center and 4 Star Hotels. Nothing has changed in that mindset.

Funny Metro Light Rail story. Years ago I worked downtown and one noon caught a tram with my metro card to go to a lunch restaurant on the route. Suddenly the doors opened and five men dressed all in black swat uniforms with the lace up parachute boots came on. Were they looking for a murderer a bank robber? Was I in the line of fire?

Checking passengers for a ticket. Our tax dollars in action. Only in Harris County.
