Tilman's got to fix what the previous owner did

I don't get the envy toward the stros when it put houston back on the map.

 

Astros are champions.

 

Question 1: Do you buy season tickets? If so what section and how many seats?

Question 2: You want the Rockets to turn away Corporate money if the companies who bought the seats don't fill them?

 

I understand the game. Every 10 year old does.

 

Rocket fans showed up when it mattered. The NBA regular season has become one long exhibition season in many ways. Even players and coaches show little interest in the regular season.

 

food is cheaper at baseball games

 

same...me at a baseball game until something exciting finally happens

 

Weathered the rain & crowds with my wife, 6 year old and 2 year old. Shout out & thanks to @The Cat when he retweeted the promo right after it was tweeted by the Astros. Otherwise I wouldn't have seen it so quickly. Got 3 $16 tickets and 30 minutes later it was sold out with cheapest tickets on seatgeek going for $110.

Got 3 rings. They wouldn't give one to our un-ticketed 2 year old.

Crowd was absolutely electric when we hit back to back to back home runs!!!

I have never in my life had such a hard time finding parking for a game downtown. That was unreal.

MMP is designed so much better than TC. I think that plays a major role. And I agree that Astros going back to original logo, original blue & orange..and rainbow...that was the best damn thing they could've ever done. Rockets desperately need to up their game on jersey & logo.

 

First World Series title in Houston. Let the people be.

 

If the rockets win the championship and hand out replica rings, I guarantee that it will be the hardest ticket in town even if it’s on a Monday night in December against the Nets opposite the Texans on Monday football when it’s 40 degrees and in a torrential downpour.

 

look at what happens on their own giveaway nights when limited bobbleheads are handed out. what a surprise, people line up early for them and get tix to the game

 

Only one Rockets Logo has the Word: HOUSTON
or the letter H
visible.




Houston Astros

 

To be fair, the Astros are kind of turning into that team...except with generally likable players.

Either OP is new to Houston or he just has a dislike of the Astros for unknown reasons. The Astros have always been above the Rockets in the favorite teams of Houston...with the exception of the championship years. Doesn't hurt that they won the World Series just last season and are looking at a very good chance of repeating.

 

Replica ring is free to those attended, on the secondary market it is a pretty penny. The game was sold-out within 12 hours of Astros announcing the Tampa Rays date would be replica ring day that was around late-April. I believe they will do another replica ring day this season, probaly another Monday, or Wednesday game against a bad team like the Rays, or Marlins. No way they will do promo on Tuesday because you can't beat $1 dog promotion. You could only buy tickets the day before, or on the game at more than the ticket value. Baseball is going to draw better because of family atmosphere like Picnic at the Park, Run The Bases, or Fan Fest. Basketball doesn't have the level of family involvement like baseball. Rockets doesn't have fan fest, or go to the floor and shoot FTs unless you are VIPs, or with deep pockets.

 

It's going to be hard to undo what Les has done to the Rockets.

He went all into getting the Houston part out of the it and concentrated on international marketing efforts.
This made him a very rich man regardless of how many empty seats are at Toyota Center.

 

I never really noticed how "Houston" was completely removed from the Rockets logo until you pointed it out.

I really don't think Les polled Houstonians about any of those terrible uniforms he put out there. I see more old school Rockets gear around town than the new stuff.

We really need to go back to the classic colors and logo but "refresh" them. The Astros did a great job with it. There is definitely something to be learned there.
