Here's an idea for the closed theme park (AstroWorld) site across from NRG.

It would be cool if the site across from the NRG Complex were turned into a huge sports and entertainment center.  I'm thinking like the Funplex on Beechnut in Southwest Houston, combined with Indoor Karting and games in Katy but much larger.  The size of a mall (Willow brook or Katy Mills) but dedicated to sports and games.  Getting people out the house and off the video games and being active.  In fact, it probably would have an old school arcade, which are coming back.  There would be enough space for football field (just throwing no contact), basketball courts, batting cages, small soccer field, ice ring, tennis court, pickle ball, volleyball, rock climbing, indoor track, working rooms, yoga, ice skating, indoor go cart racing, martial arts classes, bowling, MMA fighting ring, biking circle, Espn center.  An entire complex dedicated to sports, recreation, and fun.  I would make sense being across from NRG Complex.  Just an idea, would y'all think.  The empty field is just sitting there waiting to be developed.  I am thinking calling it TEXAS FUNPLEX or TEXAS SPORTSPLEX.  Something like that.
