Minute Maid Park Mixed-Use Development
I'm sure Crane, Shell (Shell Energy Stadium) and many others that stand to benefit greatly from the capped park will be big donors. Imagine if they built a new basketball Arena where Astros Lot C is... you'd have 3 downtown stadiums all with light rail access, fronting the capped park, walking distance to one another and all close proximity to this entertainment district. Not gonna happen, but that'd be a Houston urbanist dream!- 1

Minute Maid Park Mixed-Use Development
^^^ our fair city of houston, tx, is constantly ESPOUSING TO THE ENTIRE WORLD that "we are the fourth largest city in america". yet we constantly allow for the greater dallas metropolitan areas to constantly OUTCLASS us with their WORLD CLASS sporting facilities/venues... along with their WORLD CLASS hospitality developments. everyone of their state-of-the-art sporting venues, totally outclasses anything that the greater houston areas have to date. EVERYONE! heck, isn't dallas supposed to be the more conservative city? houston always seems to be coming from behind and playing catch-up to the dallas metro areas. heck, as we all know, THEY REALLY DID NOT NEED A BRAND NEW BALLPARK FOR THE RANGERS... RIGHT? yet, here we are, they now harbor a brand spanking new state-of-the-art venue, along with a MAGNIFICENT NEW mixed-use baseball entertainment district with gorgeous new hospitality facilities. yet, here is the TWO-TIME WORLD CHAMPION ASTROS owner JIM CRANE, espousing/dreaming/planning to the media about finally bringing forth concepts/renderings and possibly "breaking ground sometimes at the end of the year". as long as i live, i shall never comprehend this fact. PRIME EXAMPLE of just what i'm speaking of: the city of houston, utilizes taxpayer funds to construct a state-of-the-art retractable roof football venue for their newly proposed HOUSTON TEXANS football team. finally, this gorgeous new facility is completed and is introduced as a marvel of engineering to the entire nation/world. (heck, although, i LOVED the overall design of the new venue) I REALLY HATED THE FACT THAT I KEPT THINKING THAT THE NEW VENUE WAS CONSTRUCTED MUCH TOO SMALL... TO HEREBY REMAIN VIABLE, WITH THE EVER EVOLVING NFL SUPER BOWL ROTATION. subsequently, dallas comes along and constructs their HUGE EXPENSIVE MAGNIFICENT NEW STATE-OF-THE-ART FOOTBALL VENUE and TOTALLY OUTCLASSES THE HOUSTON FACILITY. hereby, making it appear smaller and meek by comparison. therefore, currently, the NFL is expressing that in order for houston to hereby remain viable in the SUPER BOWL ROTATION, NRG STADIUM IS GOING TO HAVE TO BE TOTALLY AND COMPLETELY REIMAGINED AS A FOOTBALL VENUE. why on earth, couldn't they just construct the DAMN FACILITY right in the first place...? -

I-45 Rebuild (North Houston Highway Improvement Project)
For clarity, it was you who asked for the information to be posted here you would later deem "illogically located." I tried avoid what would ultimately occur from your request by noting at first post that it was a separate project also covered on this forum. I take no issue if the content is moved, as I voluntarily provided the link to the core thread. But the person claiming it's not suitable here is the one who drove it's placement.- highway
