Minute Maid Park Mixed-Use Development
^^^ i'm being "a bit dramatic"? actually, from the way that i see it... I'M BEING COMPLETELY AND TOTALLY DRAMATIC. YET, VERY FACTUAL. therefore, should you not be able to actually comprehend just what i am speaking of, then why on earth, are you replying/quoting me? THIS IS NOT NEUROSURGERY. don't you think that i'm astute enough to actually compare the houston sporting venues to the facilities in dallas? THEIR FACILITIES TOTALLY OUTCLASS OURS in every facet. i am completely aware of the AT&T STADIUM super bowl debacle. this was due to the unexpected ICE STORM disaster that basically tore AT&T STADIUM from the NFL SUPER BOWL rotation. yet, their stadium still outclasses NRG STADIUM by miles because houston did not construct it's stadium correctly in the first place. have you been to THE STAR lately? the COWBOYS new training facility totally outclasses anything that the TEXANS could have ever dreamed of. the TEXANS practice in a freaking air bubble for GOD'S sake. talk about embarrassing. yet, the McNAIRS have been talking about improvements to their antiquated facility... and subsequently, have not done shit yet. the COWBOYS have not won anything significant in decades. yet, they harbor the very best athletic facilities in the entire league. yet, people wonder just why they are so very wealthy. heck, they make a whole lot of money because their respective facilities are so very superior. "Who cares about an entertainment complex in the middle of nowhere?" well, apparently, JIM CRANE does... did you watch the video? he now wants to emulate the rangers gorgeous entertainment complex here in downtown houston. -

Race Track On South Kirkwood Rd.
Here's an overlay pic. This thread did answer a question i had for almost 50 years, but forgot about.... When riding the bus into Sugar Land Jr High (Trojans, not Titans... .) when it first opened, we would ride by a huge abandoned mansion set back on the south side of Lakeview Drive. This was 1976-1979, a long time before there was a neighborhood surrounding the school. Back then, 7th street ended at the school's driveway. We all always wondered whose mansion it was, and why such a huge place was abandoned. Some of the Sugar Land kids said people were murdered there, so it was abandoned... I always thought they were full of crap. Now I know it was BF Terry's mansion. Anyway, the old race track is partially under 59. the obscene word on the 1953 map has been blurred. (it would have been called Lester road in 1953, they renamed it to the D-Word in the late 70's)- racing
