Guest Mastermindbuilder Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 Could this happen in Houston?! My father is working with Tilliman Ferttita, the owner of Landry's Resturants. I can't tell you alot now, but just stay tune for more details on this ultimate thread. But tell me, what do y'all think of chariot racing in Houston? Do you think this will set Houston in the driver sit on a tourist destination? Here is what we thinking of. This is not the final masterpiece, just a thought for now. ....

Talbot Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 That would be crazy. I think that it would be quite a tourist attraction, but an odd one.Can we throw the Houston bashers in there to duel it out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowbrow Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 Would I get to watch gladiators being eaten by white tigers as I ate my shrimp brochette? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mastermindbuilder Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 It wouldn't be no gladiators. We trying to get away from volients. Childern will be among the crowd, and we trying to come up with something else besides gladiators fighting, and animal killings.Remember, this is USA not Rome. We have to modern the stadium, and have an opening that would be pleasent fromt he mixure of the crowd, alduts and childern.We've also planning on adding resturants, retail, a nice urban park, maybe a parking garage, an entertainment complex. But, do not. I'll repeat. Do not get your hopes up on this. Its something we've persenting this proposal to Mr. Fertitta, hopeing he buy the proposal from us. So, until then. I'll keep y'all posted on this tourist trap destination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westguy Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 No we could throw Christians in there to battle white tigers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subdude Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 Just when you think you've seen it all... I guess there's no reason why chariot races would have to be violent, but it's not something I've really thought about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedScare Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 Maybe they could have pari-mutual, with the proceeds going to fund education.My money's on Charlton Heston. That dude was badass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be cool if it were built to have it as an old roman style. As long as it is made of stone, and not some kind of faux stone/stucco.But this definitely is an odd proposal.

Guest Mastermindbuilder Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 We don't know now how the finish project will look like. My father was insired by the movie, Ben Hur. That's when he thought about bringing back chariot racing, but have it in the U.S. Since Houston already an international city, it would be great to have it here. This could bring billions of dollars to houston enocomy. People all over the world will cater to this.They just now bringing back chariot racing in Rome. I've read about it in the internet news. But, we've find out. Right now my dad is hiring someone to design a chariot to present to Mr. Fertitta, or some other big name person. But, we've hopeing Tilliman will sit down with us and discuss it.Some of y'all maybe saying, "okay, why him? Why Tilliman?" Cause, he has a vision. He knows how to make money. He knows how to make things work. Plus, he have connections that he might turn us on to. Tilliman beleive in money making, and that's what we wanna deal with people like that. Tilliman could take this and a make a gold mine out of. A gold mine? I meant PLATINUM!Time will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedScare Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 Billions of dollars?If you want to convince Mr. Fertitta that this is a great proposal, you probably need to pay attention to detail...like spelling his name right. It's Tilman Fertitta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest DoIreallycare Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 Damn, leave it be. y'all talk about grammar like y'all english teachers. I was browsing around and finding out y'all typing suck, too. I hate stupid people that tries to correct other person grammar, and y'all just as bad.Leave this person along. At lease he's trying to better houston, and y'all downrating the man/or woman. That's why houston will never be on top having big things done. Slow a** town. y'all hopeing, praying for projects to get done, and it takes damn 2-3 years just to break ground. I don't know what you call that, but I call that slow a** hell. Be glad somebody trying to uplift houston. y'all need to be prasing him/her for the afford, instead of bashing him/her about grammar. Stupid people always lives stupid lives.

YakuzaIce Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 Mastermind, are you also working on this? You refered to your dad several times. Is he working for a person or for himself. You said he is presenting this to Fertitta so I guess not for him. You don't have to answer if you don't want to, I was just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
