re: How was your NRG Stadium experience?

This is the first legit test of light rail. Folks know the Texans and Rodeo deal, but a true traveling crowd for a big-time college football game was CERTAINLY a tremendous overload for the Metro system (who are essentially a bunch of idiots). Houston advertises light rail, but the truth is it is no where adequate. We rode it to the lot across 610 without issue because we left the game at 00:00 and walked briskly to the train. As some of the first to get there, the line was already looking big, and I can only imagine how big and backed up the line to get on the train was just 15-30 minutes thereafter. If it had been raining as predicted, then it would have been really interesting since there is no covering and it is a nice trot from NRG.
