    They should if they can get enough people to go to their games.. I don't think I'd pay to go see them.

    they get a pretty good crowd, from what i heard, Robertson Stadium holds 30,000+ and hear its hard to get a ticket, then again, I was able to go the the Galaxy and 2 playoff games with ease, so I'm not sure.

    i thought that stadiums in Houston were built by visitors that check in to Hotels, and rent cars?

    theyre going to get a stadium come hell or high water because its the only way theyre going to make any money... so a poll is kinda useless since its a forgone conclusion

    whatever



    They average around 16K which is pretty good in the MLS.

    Dallas drew around 15 or something for game 1 of the playoff series with the Dynamo. Game 2 drew 30,000 in Houston.

    More people would go if the stadium was more accessible and nicer. Look at what mmp did for the Astros.


    MLS stadiums usually hold around 18K

    I would say yes, as they seem to be one of the few local teams that have had any success over the past decade.

    The current talk is for an 80-90 million dollar stadium with AEG (Dynamo owner) footing about 60-70 million of it.

    It will have a typical soccer stadium roof covering only the stands, I believe. Soccer is meant to be played outdoors and covering the fans should suffice.

    This will also allow the roof to be raised in the event of expansion as the planned stadium is going to hold between 22-25K.

    We are Houstonians.


    Everything needs a retractable roof.

    Ya, maybe in Europe. You try to play some pick up soccer in the summer heat of Houston.

    I hope we get a good stadium, and try to be original.

    i hope we don't mimic the european style stadium.
