    Or it was just about 100 degrees outside and they weren't properly hydrated. Either way I'm not saying its the Rockets fault at all but this could have been organized a lot better.

    They were unveiling a big graphic on the side of the Tundra Garage with legendary Houston big men.

    In this unbearable heat, they needed to be more punctual. I got there early and waited for about 2 hours in the suffocating heat and a massive crowd.

    They really should of advertised it more, there should of been commercials, more tweets, lots of radio talk and signs around the Toyota center. Also should of been inside, made a stage and do what Miami did with Howard, Harden, Hakeem etc. Hell they could of thrown it at the Galleria in the skating ring would of been awesome like allstar weekend.

    I'm assuming they didn't hold the rally inside because they were letting people inside interested in buying season tickets and curious about where the open seats are.

    Did they even show the conference outside? As large as the crowd was, it would have been great to see them inside, especially with more showing up, if heat was a non-factor.

    They should have just unveiled the graphic as fans left. They spent more time waiting for it to be revealed, than they did actually speaking with fans.

    The conference wasn't shown or played out outside. I was on my phone listening to it the whole time. They just kept playing top 40 songs.

    My girlfriend and I went, it was hot but I didnt find it unbearable. It looked like a really good crowd and I thought it was cool that the people were hanging out of the parking garage. Reminded me of the championship parade.
