samagon Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Anyone else go to the groundbreaking? I've never seen SJL booed like that. I guess being a politician you get used to that, but there is some serious hate towards her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotus Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Anyone else go to the groundbreaking? I've never seen SJL booed like that. I guess being a politician you get used to that, but there is some serious hate towards her. I was there. Quite the diverse and enthusiastic crowd. Yes, Sheila was greeted with a huge round of boos...I was somewhat embarrassed for her , but she handled it stride, her voice louder than anyone else (since it was impossible to hear anyone else actually, at least where I was. Maybe they were respecting the neighbors but the mikes needed some volume). It's a great spot for a stadium, with views of the classy skyline on one side, then with the smattering of townhouses sitting amid antiquated industrial. Quite the juxtaposition as is Houston.

I guess being a politician you get used to that, but there is some serious hate towards her.She must know that she sucks....good for her for being reelected again, but she has to be sharp enough to know she's getting by on demographics and nothing more. It's really easy to hate incompetence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Houston19514 Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 I was there too. I thought the booing was hilarious. SJL deserved to be booed just for steamrolling herself into the groundbreaking. She had absolutely nothing to do with the Dynamo Stadium. But where there are TV cameras, SJL will get herself on stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KinkaidAlum Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Actually, the Dynamo Stadium is located in the heart of her district. Additionally, SJL is married to a U of Administrator who was instrumental in helping broker a deal between the Dynamo and Cougars for the use of Robertson Stadium these past few years.But, he, when there's an angry mob of white folks who are mad at the uppity woman, then why bother looking at the facts? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samagon Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Actually, the Dynamo Stadium is located in the heart of her district.This is what I was thinking, but couldn't verify. She certainly isn't much loved by the soccer fans for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the fact. And nothing you wrote even suggests otherwise. If her husband was instrumental in anything related to the Dynamo, put him on the stage.

ricco67 Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Looks like the streets are totally out now.Parking in the area just got substantially worse.

JoninATX Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 (edited) Can't wait to see it rise. Maybe they'll have that whole area around the stadium with some mixed used or office buildings:). Edited April 6, 2011 by JoninATX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LTAWACS Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 Can't wait to see it rise. Maybe they'll have that whole area around the stadium with some mixed used or office buildings:).I'm thinking several 40+ story outrageously-designed residential towers... perhaps all joined at the 30th floor a al Petronas towers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
