seems like oliver can’t keep his story straight - wants full control of revenue, then wants to share revenue. if he wants this stadium, just buy the land and build the dang thing and everyone will be happy. the glitch is wanting the city to throw in some bucks. just man up oliver, put your $ where your mouth is and take the risk for you hot team. that’ll show them right? but i guess it’s a risk you really don’t want to take.

1.) I want a stadium
2.) The drawings so far are incredibly ugly. Please start over
3.) If you share with TSU it will ruin your crediblity from the outset. THINK

I still don’t understand why the Astrodome could not be remodeled to accomodate Soccer. Admittedly, it’s not a perfect venue, but there are so many positive messages it would send to our community and the world: 1. We have a reverence for our past. 2. This is not the time to be spending unnecessary monies. 3. It would resolve the question of what to do with that building, which incidentally, is really beginning to look like an eyesore. 4. With a sensitive renovation, it would look much more “major league” than the proposed structure. 5. It already has rail “right beside it”.
…Just my thoughts.

Seems like the Dynamo are going in the hole during a major recession and allowing a less than 1-AA football team to play on the field!

Yes I want a soccer stadium in this town and I like/support the Dynamo (in moderation) but I am not in favor of the team sharing the field with UH let alone TSU.

Jessie M -

Kids do seem to stop playing club soccer around high school. Part of this owes to the fact that, until the last decade or so, there was no viable option for American youth players hoping to take their game to the next level(s).

An even bigger, and more reprehensible reason, is that there are only two division I mens’ soccer programs in Texas - Houston Baptist and SMU. Kids who are good enough to earn scholarships seek those opportunities outside the state.

And I suspect you could find a contra-point to this whole discussion any night of the week at Kicks.

In any event, Dynamo Field is going to be awesome. International nights downtown, with the skyline in the backdrop…Dale Dynamo.

everybody on the shortlist has to provide some concept/visuals for what they think the stadium could be like to get selected.

these images could be from the selected architect, and it looks all preliminary to get a feel for massing, site studies, material studies.

for how crude it looks, I’m surprised that these were released because now everybody thinks this is what its going to look like.

the lead time on getting drawings done, this is going to be a fast track project to get done by 2011.

Maybe you can explain how it works that there are alerady renderings but no one has been chosen as the architect yet?

Thanks

I know who is on the shortlist. no selections yet.

gotta love those soccer naysayers. I’ve been playing soccer my whole life and still amazes me how people react to a global sport.
