HATCHING BABY BUSINESSES AT THE ASTRODOME 
One of those 19 private bids that the Harris County Sports and Convention Corporation didn’t quite get around to asking for and yet still received just in time for Monday’s deadline comes from entrepreneur Tim Trae Tindall, who suggests that the Astrodome might be the perfect environment to trap heat — so to speak — as a business incubator: Click2Houston’s Gianna Caserta reports that Tindall’s bid for this “one-stop shop location” would provide “consultants, restaurants, investors, IT support, and office space. There would even be an extended-stay area for visitors to have accommodations while scoping out the Houston business climate.” (Having investors there on the spot? Now that beats cold calling.) Tindall, who says he’s trying to raise the money to fund the project, seems to think that a fledgling business would be drawn almost naturally to the decaying Dome: “What we intend to do is seize upon the notoriety of Houston’s greatest landmark.” [Click2Houston; previously on Swamplot] Photo: Allyn West

No. Steel frame park.
I agree with Ian.
Just to add to all the intellectual masturbation… petchem storage tank!
This will never fly in Reliant Park, it’s a total non starter –the only good plan is the steel frame idea from the UH student –all the rest are just wastes of time because the county will never approve them–let’s just make a decision on the Dome and move on
“intellectual masturbation” – worthy of a swampie nomination in December.
