| Does Houston have the nicest pro sports facilites in the US? (Posted on 5/8/12 at 2:47 pm)
Reliant
Minute Maid
Toyota Center
 
BBVA compass stadium(new dynamo stadium, its awesome)
All are relatively new and top of the line.
Haven't been to many games in other major cites so I don't know how they stack up.
Its nice to have the money the city of Houston does.

Went to a game at MinuteMaid last year. It was damn nice, I really loved the stadium. Right in the middle of the game a huge storm blew in and was raining and lightening which was pretty cool to watch through the huge clear roof/window haha

When/if Seattle gets that new arena built in the next few years, it will be up there. Safeco, CenturyLink, and the new arena.

Minute Maid? Seriously?
That place was a joke from Day 1 and ranks at the bottom of Major League Baseball by any poll or ranking you look at.

everyone's rich when you get to spend OPM.
I do think Houston (and Dallas) can probably build for a lot less than most cities because they are more market orientented, unions are not as strong and there's less political corruption.

nah, not really. As much as the stros suck, it's a great stadium.
oh and the worst of these stadiums is toyota center... ZERO personality. feels like a shopping mall in there.
