The idea is their kids will make that switch…


And people who aren't current fans.

I wouldn't be an NBA fan if we didn't have the Pels.

Austin doesn’t have the corporate support of a city like Houston.


They have a massive tech presence.
Space X IPO made many in Austin rich.
The city would absolutely support a hockey team similar to Carolina. Their MLS team constantly sells out.

Houston is a shite hole missing the key demographic that loves hockey.

St. Louis is a shithole with 3 mil metro and supports hockey, I’m sure Houston, being the 5th largest metro in the country, can make it work.

FWIW - I think Austin can do it as well.

white people?


there are plenty, esp in the burbs where theres talk of a new facility

I think the Austin being thrown in the mix is just being done to try to get more concessions from somebody in Harris County
