Are Rockets gonna change home court because of hurricane Rita?

the hurricane is set to strike land friday niteish...since the toyota center is very new..im sure its built very well..but idono if they built it to withstand a hurricane...if the toyota center gets beat up like the superdome in New Orleans..then they HAVE to find another home court..the season is too close away for them to be repairing major damages..but judging from the most recent hurricane images it may stray off.. and it mite not hit houston as hard as most people expected..lets pray that this is the case.

 

The Reliant Center is in the Southwest side of town. It should be fine. The hard hit side of Houston will be the Southeast where the ship channel is.

 

you're right but the rockets play at toyota center. both should be fine anyways, though isn't toyota center far underground? hopefully there isn't too much flooding.

 

I remember when they were building it, even though it is a sunken bowl, they were building post Allison so they thought of flood, etc. I'm sure any wind-damage, unless major major major, could be fixed relatively easily.

 

TC is in the South East side of Houston and since Ritas going far east of that it should be fine. Not that I would mind seeing how a game in Reliant would look.

 

Rita moving east of the track so likely the significant portion will miss Houston - unless it jogs to the west at some point.

 

in the event that games will take place in relient, the bright side would be that everyone stays in thier seat the whole game.

 

It would be interesting to see another game at the old Compaq Center.

 

Sorry, you totalty lost me on this comment

 

how about GM Place?

 

Reliant doesn't have as much of the extra crap that TC does - Lexus Lounge, restaurants, etc...

 

I'm more than happy to offer my house to the power dancers for any practice sessions.

 

Yeah, that would bs kinda cool. For a short while, anyway.

 

heheh that wild be funny. kinda hard it's lakewood church now
on the good side it don't look like we will be hit that hard
this willl prob be my last post because i am in houston and you never know

 

Unless Joel Osteen can play defense, I doubt we see games in the Compaq Center (or as my girlfriend calls it, "God Stadium."

 

Toyota Center is ~32 feet below street level as it is...

 

The funniest part was I was thinking about the Summit when I posted that. I should stop posting so late. The TC isn't too too far from the Summit though.
