re: Houston Texans Toro District in Cypress, TX

Is this similar to what was happening with the Chicago Bears?

not exactly. Texans will still play at NRG on the weekends,

the employees and players will just show up to work and practice at the new facility and not have to go to NRG except for gameday stuff.

Bears are losing the whole stadium and team to another state.

This is like the Cowboys having their stadium in Arlington and Practice Facilities/HQ in Frisco.

Traffic

What made me giggle is you said you live in Waller and refer to the loop (99 Grand Parkway). It’s more inter-galactic ring than “loop” (610).

First time I lived in Houston, “the loop” was 610. Beltway 8 wasn’t quite one yet.

Your great grand kids will be in Waco saying keep traffic in their loop I suppose.

if we went to a game at NRG it would take an hour and a half both ways.

There will of course be outlier Sundays with traffic and once you get to the actual stadium it takes forever to park, but 1.5 hours one way is definitely not the norm. I commute from 288 and highway 6 to the Heights area every afternoon after work and it takes an hour and fifteen minutes max and that's with heavy rush hour traffic.
