Why stop there? Throw the zoo, museum, and park's parking underground.

What's that? It would cost millions of dollars? Lol a man can dream :/

I Have dreamt about that as well. We just need the Powerball to get back to $500 million (and win) and we can work on making it happen. I'd also like land bridges over Hermann Park Drive for a more continuous park space.

I hate the 2035 plan grading of the hill and "VIP Master Suites". Totally kills the whole relaxing vibe of the park and looks too structured, stark, and something you'd expect in suburbia. Sitting on the lawn with "VIPs" hovering over you would feel strange. It's almost as if the board is now a bunch of old farts that decided that "hmph, those kids rolling around the hill and having fun distract from the entertainment, so let's put an end to that!"

The VIP Suites at the top of the hill are not part of the adopted plan.

Miller Outdoor Theatre

Hermann Park. Houston.

In 1922, the original theater was designed by William Ward Watkin as an amphitheater surrounded by twenty Corinthian-style limestone columns and built by Tom Tellepsen.

The current theatre building, built in 1968, was designed by Eugene Werlin and Associates and won several awards: the American Iron and Steel Institute’s Biannual Award (1969), the American Institute of Steel Construction’s Award of Excellence, and the James E. Lincoln Arc Welding Foundation Award.
