    What, Kansas City and New Orleans? You know what? If San Antonio were able to lure Lamar Hunt's Kansas City Chiefs to San Antonio, Hunt would probably bring with him the Kansas City Wizards, yo. It'd be like a double victory for S.A. NFL AND MLS at the same time, yo!

    Whoa, whoa, whoadie What's the name and location of the pics U put up, yo? REVEAL YOURSELF!!!! Oh, and the Grand Central Station's a very interesting concept :-)

    Yo CityKid, yo' pics: what's the name of that place, and where is it? (is that the Atlantic Station place we mentioned earlier?)

    I think because of L.A., it's much more easy at this time to attract an MLS team than an NFL team, though I think they should try to get both.

    Okay, THAT'S hot!! Get on it, Harris County! Yo, one more time: Luxury Hotel, MLS Stadium, AND Recreatonal Area for shopping ALL in one. My suggestion. Not sure how it would NOT be profitable...

    ...and this guy got elected HOW?? Can you imagine if someone running for the mayor of Houston said the city was not ready for an NFL franchise? How would the citizens of H-town respond?! I wonder if this mayor-elect even mentioned anything that said San Antonio was lacking in sports interest when he was running in the first place!!!!

    Unfortunately, X-Games will be in LA until at least, like, 2009 or something
  8. DJ V Lawrence
    Bring on the X Games!!!

    I'm 100% for this idea

    GREAT story, Texasboy!! Bring on the Skate Park. I welcome it with opened arms!!

    I think we'll make post-season

    You've been late four times, I've been counting!! Houston's gonna have to shine BRIGHT for the All-Star Game to show the NFL what they're missing. Oye, but let me just say one thing. If, IF, the NBA actually does fall into a lockout this season, and Houston's All Star Game is effected, we BETTER get something in return
  13. DJ V Lawrence
    Point taken. In that case, check out the new thread I'm about to start up on the All Star Game.

    ...but also remember that some MLS games have filled NFL stadiums to capacity (70,000+), but for some reason, they are talking about building 20,000-seat stadiums for those same teams. Where's the logic? Subdude, I understand completely where you're coming from. It truly does make sense. My point is this: if you're gonna do something, do it right. You're right, two teams have folded. You know why? Because the league automatically assumed that because those cities had a large Hispanic population, it would just automatically survive. That doesn't work. What the league needs to do is stop living in the taboo that only one ethnic background love soccer, and they have to come up with ways to cater to ALL races. Create a soccer interest that doesn't exist in corporate America and Urban America instead of assuming that because you're of certain background, you will attend games. That ideology will NOT work in Houston. I heard they're talking about building a soccer venue for MLS at Delmar Stadium. For what reason? You tell me. You mean to tell me that because I'm not Hispanic, I'm not allowed to have the MLS advertise their team to me? If you won't advertise soccer to me now, when will you? And what if, just if, the East End didn't attend games. Who would fill the seats then? 5th Ward? River Oaks? Bellaire? Katy? Sugarland? Who ELSE are you teaching the art of soccer to? Push for the ENTIRE city of Houston to go to games the way Bob McNair did when the Texans did their inagural season. After watching what he did, I think there's NOTHING Houston can't do in terms of marketability and enthusiasm.

    YEAH OSCAR!! YOU'RE A GROUCH!!

    That HCHSA and Harris County Sports Corp. merge idea sounds like a great one. If Miami could offer that, with Houston being a much bigger city and Houston being the best host city ever for a Super Bowl, once again, the NFL would have NO excuses to hook us up the way they'd hook up New York or the state of Florida with special privilages.

    I'm TOTALLY against the thought of us submitting to a 20,000 seat stadium for soccer in Houston. The New Orleans Saints are hurting because they have sold ONLY 25,000 season tickets. Soccer's the biggest sport in the world, and if Houstonians can't fill a stadium of 40,000 seats for a soccer team, we should just forget about trying to have a team at all. And I'm all against this High School stadium thing. If it's a PROFESSIONAL LEAGUE, play in a PROFESSIONAL LOCATION with PROFESSIONAL MONEY and PROFESSIONAL SPONSORSHIP. 20,000 seat stadiums are what they use for BASKETBALL and HOCKEY ARENAS. 20,000 is NOT an exceptable baseball or football attendance, and it shouldn't be for a marketable league like the MLS. Screw trying to have sell-out games. Get MORE PEOPLE INVOLVED. Either Houstonian love soccer, or they don't. Fill up a 40,000+ soccer stadium nightly in Houston, or just don't have a team if you think 40,000 Houstonians are not interested. End of story. Last question. If we get a soccer team for Houston, will you (the person reading this) support that team passionately like we have for the Texans, Astros, Comets, and Rockets, and would you buy season tickets and actually go to the games, or are you only hoping to have a team to have one, and are banking on OTHER Houstonians to go to the game instead of you ? Answer soon, yo...

    We were the first city eliminated! Does that mean we lost to everyone? HOwever, I think the owners had a perfect excuse in that we were the last city of the four to host a Super Bowl (but what about Miami?) However, I think Tampa winning the Super Bowl is GREAT for Houston! Why? Because it keeps us in the Super Bowl rotation anyway. Remember the burning question we had about what would happen if Dallas is awarded the 2011 Super Bowl, and we thought they wouldn't give it to Houston for a loooonnnnggg time because they wouldn't award it to the same state within a four year period? Miami will host in 2007 and THEY were eliminated after HOUSTON! Miami '07, Tampa '09! So Dallas '11, Houston '13! The owners have NNNOOOOOOO EXCUSES for our next bid. NONE!! We're one of, if not, THE best host city as a whole the NFL's EVER had, proven in 2004. As a matter of fact, there's something else we haven't thought up yet. WE STILL HAVE A SHOT AT THE 2010 SUPER BOWL, TOO!!! New York was awarded the game ONLY IF THEY BUILD THE STADIUM ON TIME, and that will be built before 2010 ONLY IF THEY WIN THE OLYMPICS!!!! I think New York would do a fine job as a host city, but, like Miami, THEY BROKE THE RULES TOO!!! The stadium has to be in use for 2 years before it's eligible to host. Guess what? 09'opening-'10 Super Bowl. THERE ARE NO LEGITIMATE SUPER BOWL HOSTING ELIGIBILITY RULES IN THE NFL!!!! ALL RULES ARE BENT!! WE HAVE A SHOT EVERY YEAR!!!! GO HOUSTON '10, 12',13, '14, '15.....

    As, remember, it was Bob Mcnair that spent da money. Also, remember the fact that everyone who left H-Town can NOT deny the fact that it was by far the best Super Bowl of all time all around. NO QUESTION. If anyone can tell me any city that threw better and bigger Super Bowl parties, a more exciting game, and a more talked-about halftime show all in one, feel free to mention it, folks. If Atlanta gets the Bowl, it won't be because we did a bad job in 2004. It would only be because the league thought Atlanta did a not so good job in 2000, and they want to give Atlanta to redeem itself, yo. We STILL da best city to host it, yo. Period.

    Why did they build the NEW Hard Rock Cafe in Houston so SMALL compared to the old one? If they were to move downtown, couldn't they have made it so much BIGGER and more marketable? The new size is a shame
  21. DJ V Lawrence
    Personally, I prefer the Astrodome over Delmar or NW Mall. Soccer in the Dome would kill two birds with one stone for Harris County, Soccer, and the City of Houston, since we ARE trying to decide what to do with the Dome. And besides, Delmar stadium is a HIGH SCHOOL stadium. I don't see the Rockets, Astros, or Texans playing in High School stadiums for home games. If we really think that lowly of soccer in Houston, we shouldn't have a team in the first place.

    Why don't they build a smaller version of Herman Park? A large outdoor theatre, state-of-the-art playgrounds, and a central fountain in the middle. Also have the park well lit and encourage the city to hang out and lounge there at night, and boost security to ensure that crime there stays minimal.

    SICKNESS, Urbanerd! LOVE the design! Yo, do they have a projected completion date?
  24. DJ V Lawrence
    If that's a rendering for H-town's park, that looks nice, yo! Now, I understand the concept of starting up development around the park, but exactly WHERE around the park is everyone refering to that you'd want redeveloped? The park's surrounded by office buildings, The GRBCC, Hilton Americas, Toyota Center, and Minute Maid Park. Where exactly is it that this thread is talking about in terms of the actual location that you're hoping to be developed around this park?
