    If the deal becomes official, I hope for some kind of exchange between the Dynamo Girls and the Rockets Power Dancers. ;)

    I think this could also bring together a partnership/alliance between the fan clubs and supporters groups of both teams. Imagine the Red Rowdies and Texian Army/El Battalon/Brickwall joining forces as one superpower like the Avengers.

    Exchange? How about combining? Throw in some of the rain from the outdoor stadium, and..um...

    i'm hoping Les learns about fan involvement and opens up a SG section at toyota center where i can just pay $250 and party in the bleacher seats behind the baseline all year long

    A retractable roof doesn't defeat the purpose of an outdoor stadium in the first place :rolleyes:

    The fact that the Dynamo weren't sold to Les leaves the team in a bit of limbo as far as ownership goes.

    AEG, the company that is owned by Phil Anschutz, is up for sale, and I assume that also means his teams. What appeared to just be a local owner looking to buy a local team now looks more like the current owner looking to get the team off of his hands.

    Not sure how I felt about Alexander taking over, but the Dynamo definitely need local ownership.

    I think they need ownership that doesn't already have a bigger stake in another team in the same league.

    From what I hear the sale stalled because having the Dynamo be owned by AEG, makes AEG a more attractive buy, which could mean who knows winds up getting control of the team.

    That is pretty scary.
