Well….now Les Alexander gets his panties in a wad because it’s not fair that football and baseball have new play places…so now he DEMANDS a new arena. So now we have the Toyota Center. The Astros have NEVER been a World Seris Champion (only close one time)…the Rockets…..yes they have two championships but none since they moved to the Toyota Center or should I say since 1995? The Texans? Never mind. The Comets have MORE championships than the Astros, Rockets, and Texans combined. Anyway…my point is…..in order for the Dynamo to get THEIR stadium..of which they are going to pay..what? 60% of the cost? If not more? And the city wants ALL the stipulations as to who else can use the stadium? Texas Southern? High school football? High school soccer? Not that I necessarily have a problem with any of that…but why aren’t the “other” professional sport teams required to share their stadiums the way the city and county is trying to make the Dynamo? (Yes…I DO understand the Toyota Center being used for other events but I don’t see high school b’ball…high school v’ball…etc…etc being played there). Three years and TWO Championships later…and they STILL can’t get repsect??? I got the petition thing and ya know what kinda ummm…pi$$es me about that?

After today's devastating news that the Dynamo have been forced into another bad stadium deal with UH, it seems that there is no light at the end of the tunnel. It is only so long before potential becomes wasted potential and the supposed deal for a new stadium seems to be favoring the latter. I am ready to support Vancouver or Montreal Dynamo.

Their stated purpose (on their website) is to secure private (and public?) funds for sports facilities. They have gotten several other facilities built where are they now? They are a semi-public enitity and are missing in action. It is time for them to "get off the pot" and do their job as well as the polititions who put them in their positions. It sounds like the people behind Reliant, Minnie Maid, and Toyota Center got their sweet deals but are trying to obstruct by omission any Dynamo deal. Civic pride only goes so far.
