My bad.

To hell with Bud Adams. May he never rest in hell!

The WFL Texans did, in 1974. The Fertita Center was called Hofheinz Pavillion. :) Pasadena was home to Gilleys, where Urban cowboy was filmed. :)

​​@The LIM Report when the Houston Texans were choosing names to call themselves they had to Ask the Kansas City Chiefs for permission to use the name Texans because they still had rights to the name.

@@TheWideWorldofStadiums 8:52 You missed Houston Dash FC Of NWSL

PRAISE THE LORD AND PASS THE LOOT!

Although it wasn't "Premium Seating" friendly, The Summit was a much better building for watching events that the Toyota Center . Loved watching Aeros (both WHA and IHL versions) play there.

It should be stated that, by the time that loser bought the building, it had long since been renamed from the Summit to the Compaq Center.

I graduated hs in the Summit in 1991, and graduated college in 2022 in NRG arena.

There's a famous Journey concert that was filmed there in the early 80s.

Been to 2 stadiums in Costa Rica. Enjoyed the country (went down there in 2020 for the NYCFC game).

Football 🏈 is the official state religion of Texas. Therefore they only build the best places of worship.

well.. Money and Football is huge here. There's like 4/5 state and/or nationally ranked football teams out of Houston every year. Usually the same ones.

Oooh that would be cool to see

I'd love to see that video

Why is their an H though?

​@@TheMrPeteChannelHouston is full of weird quirks like that, fuqua and kuykendahl are others that most outsiders would never guess how to correctly pronounce

@@vrettos99 Don't forget San Felipe, Bissonet, Laura Koppe, Tuam, Beauchamp, Chartres, Chenevert, Synott, Tellepsen... Honestly you could make a whole video just about how we pronounce these street names 🤣

I think he's talking about the stadiums in Harris County

When i went to CFISD the Berry Center was somewhat new, and Pridgeon was still great. I did not know they renamed the Berry to FCU until this video lol

@@joethahoboI go to school in cfisd and I can say with confidence no one calls it fcu stadium everyone says the berry center

@@ZacharySinha thats good to know the younger generations are holding up the tradition

@@joethahobo well to be fair what kind of name is fcu it’s too vague there’s only one berry center for the fine arts but since the 2 are so close together everyone just mashes them into one event center

Didn't the comets also play at the summit?

@@psideTXdude03 Although no one was talking about the WNBA, the old Houston Comets did play at the Summit and won the women's basketball league's first four championships. And while I'm talking about it, (though I am from New York and am a Liberty fan) bring back the Comets!

@@martincruz8319 I was just asking, but yeah please bring the comets back

I think there's also a Houston based team in the lower leagues as well

@@supersasukemaniac The closest you're gonna get would be Dynamo 2 in MLS NEXT PRO, which is considered part of the third tier of US Soccer, alongside USL League 1 and NISA. Beyond that, you're off into the wilderness of the fourth tier, with USL League 2 and NISA Nation as well as the NPSL and UPSL. Of those four comps, only NISA Nation doesn't have a presence in Houston. That said, while individual teams within any of those competitions could be full-professional, that'd be only by the barest of minimums, and the leagues themselves would easily be described as semi-pro.

I've been to a Dynamo game in the rain in the summer. A larger roof wouldn't make that much of a difference. It's still hot and you still would get wet.

Is Humble a decent suburb? I thought it was but I haven't been to Houston in nearly 30 years. In my mind I associate it with the The Woodlands which I think is nice and also not correct-two different places. I am Canadian so when I see leafy American suburbs they look nice to me ("the American dream") but I suppose they could have negative undertones I can't see with the naked eye or pictures.

@@neilwhitaker6284 Humble is definitely in the bottom half of quality surrounding Houston. I chose it because I could get a cheap house there and it was close to the airport, which is something I valued. The Woodlands and Spring are much nicer and much more expensive to live in.

@@derekashworth5884 OK I see I had the wrong impression of Humble. Thank you for your reply. It was a town name I always associated with High School football that I would hear a lot in the mid 90s. Given that it is a little north of Houston I associated it with some of the nicer places you mentioned. Thank you for informing me.

In Spanish, the H is silent.

It's nicknamed The Rig.

I am Canadian so I have observed the answer to this...jealousy and envy. It is easier for people to destroy and tear down what others have built than build something yourself. The USA like any country has its positives and its negatives. Building awesome things and being passionate about High School or college sports is one of its positives in my opinion. Slightly off topic a friend asked me last week driving to work if I'd like to move to the USA and I said I'd consider it if the opportunity came up. There are many things I admire and like about rural American culture (I work in agriculture very rural) but the country has its issues too. I thumbed up your comment, good one!

Yes, but... We voters (well, not me--I voted against it) in Clear Creek ISD approved a $480 million bond for the school district. For our pains (and our increased property taxes), we have giant buildings and palatial stadiums, but my kids' teachers still send us their Amazon supplies wish lists. I know, I know: the money was for capital improvements and can't be diverted to teacher supplies. Still... there is something very off--and off-putting that a wealth school district can guilt mush-headed taxpayers into vast amounts of public funding to "upgrade" facilities that are better by many orders of magnitude than what HISD schools typically have, yet the actual teachers have to go hat-in-hand to the parents for supplies for science experiments. While the process may have been democratic, it demonstrates that there is something not entirely healthy in the values and priorities of the system--or the people supporting the system.

@@jamessimpson6661 im honestly not surprised you moralized this issue to condemn the people you disagree with. you are the problem.

​@@aggressive_goose8679 I'm glad you're being honest, my man: I was a little bit worried that you were lying to me. People usually have a moral/ethical reason for disagreeing with things, propositions, and/or things. So, that's what responsible moral thinkers, do:--give moral reasons for the basis of their viewpoints. And, yes, I was indeed taken aback when asked to vote $480 million by CCISD. However, given that I didn't vote for the bond, I'm actually not the problem. Say his to Mav, Iceman, and Merlin! Peace out, Goose! Peace out! (P.S: Drop in a capital letter and apostrophe now and again: they're still free, you know. It doesn't cost anything (not even $480 mil) to hit them on your keyboard.

NRG Stadium is home of Rodeo Houston, formerly held in the Astrodome. NRG Arena was built for the rodeo's associated horse shows, while livestock shows take place in the neighboring NRG Center, which replaced the old Astrohall.

yes, the H is silent here. Umble it's called

Stuck in the pass friend.

I think the new name fits pretty well considering the Astros own the team now (hence why they are the Astros AAA affiliate now,not an Independent team anymor

Also Randall Reed Stadium and Planet Ford Stadium

And where would you suggest people to park then. Houston is a vehicle city. You pretty much have to have a car to get anywhere efficiently. It's very spread out & has multiple business districts & tons of suburbs. The metro area is larger than many small states & countries. It doesn't function like cities that were built around large center districts & mass transit, & it would be a huge & extremely expensive task to change that. You have to have large parking lots to handle the massive amounts of vehicles of those attending events at these stadiums. And flat land is far cheaper than parking garages or mass transit to all of these stadiums.

Or that, most people don't really know about Women's pro sports because, out side of World Cup years in terms of soccer, they get no real coverage.
