I just repeat. I am philosophically opposed to subsidizing businesses. Perhaps I should add over other residents. Uniform or not at all.
Texans in Cypress would be better for them. Sugarland ain't it. Indian territory who aren't a culture of football lovers. Cypress/290/99 Corridor would feed families. You get to grab all of Katy, Cypress, Spring, Woodlands, even the northside commute off 99 wouldn't be awful as compared to the 610 mess. Bring it on!
Move out for a new PRACTICE FACILITY (and entertainment district), not a new stadium The Houston Texans have received interest from several parties in the greater Houston area about building a new team headquarters and practice facility, which could include an entertainment district similar to the one the Dallas Cowboys and other professional sports teams have built, top officials for the franchise said Monday. Cal McNair’s and president Mike Tomon’s latest comments at the Houston Texans Foundation’s annual charity golf tournament Monday morning confirm that it’s a realistic possibility — and maybe even likely — that the Texans will try and build outside of Harris County. A new headquarters would not change where the Texans play their games. Their lease agreement at NRG Stadium, which is owned by Harris County, runs through 2032. And negotiations for a new lease with the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo and Harris County officials remain ongoing, McNair said. But they could move their day-to-day operations to a surrounding county. “Where we wind up with the practice facility, I’m not really quite sure yet,” McNair said. “We have a lot of great options and we’ll sort through that sooner rather than later.” McNair said that they are OK with building at or around NRG Park, where there is also significant space available. But the Texans are not limiting their options. “Would we move out? Yeah, we would move out and do a brand new one somewhere,” McNair said, referencing a headquarters and practice facility. “In the Greater Houston area.” Tomon added that they’ve had conversations with several interested parties who have significant acreage to build a new headquarters. “There’s not really much time to do everything we need to do in that building,” said Hannah McNair, the Houston Texans Foundation's vice president. “And we actually have some people working off site, so not everybody is working in that building.” “I think (entertainment) districts in general are interesting to us because of the impact they have on the community,” Tomon said. “So to do a district the right way, can be a real benefit for generations to come for the community around. And that’s what interests us.” The Texans have two goals: No. 1 to build a first-class facility for the players, so they can perform well. And to strengthen the surrounding area. “The value that the Texans can bring to a community, we really see that there’s a great way that we can impact a community in a great way,” Tomon said. “To make sure that it’s a destination, it’s an asset for the community for the folks who are there, and with that comes revenue opportunities. “I think we’re seeing that there’s other organizations who have looked at it similarly, who when you start seeing how popular entertainment districts have become, they are great opportunities for corporate partners to engage, and great opportunities for other retail.”
And they'll do the same thing with a new stadium concept (maybe even in the same place?). Obviously this is just emulating what Dallas does with the STAR in Frisco, which has been a major success as a year-round attraction. Then again, more people are into the Cowboys (even in the surrounding areas) than anybody is into the Texans... but this is bound to do better than their current practice facility or anything attached to the NRG area (which is basically a zero growth part of Houston and no investor is likely to put up serious money for any project in this area going forward... including the Astrodome!).
And with 99 connecting to Baytown now, those east side biggins will have a direct shot also Good, Texans move out, Astroworld theme park moves back in
I really think City Place at 99 and 45 is perfect The Hardy ends there and is direct from the airport The Woodlands is 5 minutes away and that is by far the nicest Suburb Pearland/Sugarland/Missouri City is pretty grimey and has a lot of bad elements in or around the area to where anything nice would end up ghetto Katy is pretty congested but is on the West side which is good The Kingwood/Porter area or Baytown/Mont Belvieu just does not have a ton of density compared to other areas Now in addition to being near The Woodlands Cypress/Tomball with all the growth and in-between Katy and The Woodlands could make a lot of sense If you can work out staying at NRG long term League City might make some sense
They would be stupid to move it to any suburb of Houston Houston is very centralized there's suburbs on the north and south and west side of town if a player has a home in Sugar Land that would be a hell of a commute out to The Woodlands. East River would be a good spot or where they're currently at right now build around the current stadium.
You obviously never spent time in Pearland/Sugarland/Mo City. Nobody wants to drive up 45/Hardy. Damn sure don’t want to take the Katy Freeway.
This is a long term move It's irrelevant if a few players live somewhere today. #1 It does not get built overnight #2 From the time it is announced to the time it is completed every new Texan will know where it will be located #3 The less than 10 players left will literally have years to determine if they are in a good spot or should move
The airport is a direct shot to City Place The Southwest Suburbs have been in decline since the late 90s No thanks
So one bad county judge ruins the whole county. Got it. I guess Trump ruins America...cause we for DAMN sure know he is corrupt.
Sounds like you have some major TDS because nobody was talking about him. You should get some help for that. Back to the topic. The Texans are frustrated with Harris County not keeping up the building and issues with the scheduling around the complex so they are looking for alternative spots While some areas mentioned are in Harris County it would probably be corporate partners. In the South/Southwest Suburbs there are very few companies of any size they are basically bedroom communities so what are they gonna do make a deal with the local government? We all know professional sports teams don't like to pay for anything. Seems like they would have similar issues in and around the Sugar Land area that's why in my original post I eliminated that as a good spot.
