That is until recently when a group of friends and I wanted to do something out of our norm and check out something new to all of us. Introducing the Houston Sabercats, Houston's major league rugby team. The stadium is located right off 288 south of the loop, and right before entering entering into Pearland city limits. I drive by and see the signs daily coming and going from work, but never saw the stadium up close. Truth be told, I wasn't expecting a crowd but was totally surprised driving up and seeing a packed lot with people tailgating. Let me tell you, the fan base was very diverse from young and old and they supported their team proudly. Excitement was in the air which pumped me up as well. Ticket prices were reasonable considering there really isn't a bad seat in the house. There's all kinds of stuff happening in and around the stadium. They have different vendors selling merch, food, and drinks. Platypus Brewing had their own set up right when you walk in, but they also had little tents popped up around selling different food and drinks. There was also another area selling liquor. Merch was pretty spendy, but people were buying them up. The game itself was very fun to watch. I still have alot to learn as far as the rules goes. I would compare it to football, but alot tougher as these guys are going at it with little to no padding. Rugby is something I think I can get behind and I will for sure be back to check it out again.

This was my first time going to a rugby game and it definitely won't be my last either. I was not…read moreexpecting a big turn out but the stadium was packed with a lot of supporting fans. The game itself was entertaining & our team tore our opponents to pieces. They had a good amount of pop up tents/vendors selling variety of stuff. They had a beer table, snacks, lemonade stand, alcohol stand. & if you want your ball park food they also have a concession stand. The lines moved very fast but they were out of a lot of items. I wanted a hot dog but they were out of it so I ordered their cheeseburger. Which I thought tasted okay. My favorite was their lemonade stand. For 3 dollars a cup I thought that was pretty cheap considering everything is expensive at the ball park. They do have a good amount of parking but it's definitely a hassle and chaotic when everyone is exiting the parking lot. Parking is 15 bucks which is ridiculous for a rugby game but you gotta make money so I ain't mad at it. Overall, it was a great experience and I can't wait to come back for another game. You wanna avoid the chaos parking? Take uber.

I really like this stadium in Fort Bend ISD. It has accessibility ramps for handicapped or elderly…read morefolks who don't or can't use the stairs. The parking is pretty close proximity to the entrance and was pretty easy to find a spot to park. I came here to watch the famous Friday Night Lights Texas high school football and it didn't disappoint. The atmosphere was pretty chill and the concession stand was busy but efficient. They don't allow outside food or drink so make sure to grab your wallet when you leave the house/truck and yes with Texas heat make sure you have had plenty of hydration so as not to faint. I had a great time and the presence of law enforcement team really made it feel like a safe place to bring friends and family. Tickets were $11 and up in price from last year but so is inflation. Deal with it.

The Astrodome was one of a kind. Literally, the first one. This is obviously a review of times…read morepast. But it can be a review of times present. Presently, the Dome sits majestically on the south Houston plains as a monument to Houston sports past. And frankly, the birth of Sports in the city. Like Plymouth Rock or the Gateway Arch, it represents the beginning of greatness in the now fourth largest city in the United States. The authorities can't bear to bring it down nor should they. It's our history. Lives. It sits there in the shadow of the current Houston football stadium just like a withering parent sits watching his or her son or daughter dominate their industry. It was the birth of greatness in sports. Born in 1965, it represented everything right with the City of Houston. Forward thinking. Innovative. Air Conditioned. It set the tone for what the city would thrive on for the next half century and beyond. She hasn't seen a competitive athletic event or meaningful show in 20 years. As technology moved forward, much like our aging parents stuck to landlines and paper bills in the mail, she didn't want to let go of her old-world charm. To the point where, it just was what it was. Now we must let her reign over our city in her authority. We owe too much. It was home to Houston's sports teams: The Houston Astros. The Houston Oilers. The Houston Gamblers. The Houston Cougars. The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. The people and historic events the Astrodome witnessed is a who's who of 20th Century American culture. Muhammed Ali. Elvis Presley. Michael Jordan. Hank Aaron. Willie Mays. Mickey Mantle. Satchell Paige. Earl Cambell. Nolan Ryan. Craig Biggio. Jeff Bagwell. Andre Ware. The Final Four. The NBA and MLB All Star Games. Evel Knievel. The Rolling Stones. Judy Garland. The Jackson Five. Selena. U2. The Jonas Brothers. The Battle of the Sexes. Wrestlemania. The 1992 Republican National Convention. The Game of the Century (Houston Cougars vs. UCLA Bruins). I could go on. It hosted movies/videos like Bad News Bears. Friday Night Lights. And U2. The technology advancements were incredible. The roof started it. Astroturf followed. Dome visionary Judge Roy Hofheinz Penthouse Suite owners box was an amusement park in and of itself with a carousel, bowling alley, pinball machines, and more. Which led to a whole complex of entertainment in the vicinity, including Astroworld, hotels, and show space for the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo Don't ever let this place be razed. It means too much. #ForTheH

Just wanted to write a review for the old school memories. I was a Houstonian back in the 70s to…read more80's. What a place that was. From watching the Oilers, Astros, circus and the stock show it was an awesome place for a kid. A story came across my phone talking about what will become of that event center. Says there will be an event center there, hotel, and the common ideas people have for a place like that. It's to bad it can't be converted into a new wonder of the world. My idea would be the largest green house/lab in the world that college ag programs could get a use of as well as providing essential supply and knowledge for our farms. It can be used to manufacture seed for farms, fertilizer, etc. Also rains a lot in Houston so It could have indoor and outdoor fish farms. It really could be a viable resource build for our countries food security as well as for the ag students and studies for tomorrows generation. Well at the end, I'm glad it's staying up right and not turning into a land fill of boxes and forgot storage.

My friend and I had planned a fun night, and he was so excited to go as it was my first time at a haunted house. He arrived and was on the phone with me, simply trying to find my car so he could come get me. Before he even made it to my car door, he was aggressively approached and accused of trying to break into cars. Instead of asking questions or verifying anything, the main security guy immediately escalated the situation. He refused to even speak with me when I tried to explain, told my friend he had to leave or he'd take him to jail, and claimed he had a "witness" when no one ever came over or saw what actually happened. He had just bought our tickets online, but they kicked us out without a refund, without any respect, and without listening. It was humiliating and infuriating to see someone instantly stereotyped and treated like a criminal for doing absolutely nothing wrong. What was supposed to be a fun night turned into a painful reminder of how casually people still weaponize assumptions against Black men. Phobia, do better your staff's behavior was unacceptable and deeply disappointing

The weather was prefect, warm enough for just a light jacket but a bit of a hazy fog which made it feel more like London. There is a guy who brings raptors and does demonstrations. He had an African owl and hawk as well as a peregrine falcon. There are always actors portraying Queen Victoria and Prince Albert as well as Beefeater guards, Bobbies and characters from Oliver Twist and A Christmas Story. I like to get there at 10 am when the gates open and stay until just after the big parade that goes down The Strand. There are private events but they all cost more than the basic ticket to the event on The Strand.

Clear Creek Independent School District (CCISD) has a gridiron gem of its own in Challenger Columbia Stadium. While the venue has been around for at least a decade, the 2024 commencement exercises for Clear Springs High School on June 1, 2024, were my first time there. My friends who I accompanied told me the stadium is considered one of the top high school football venues in the Lone Star State, and it was easy to see why. There's ample seating, a superb audio system, a crystal clear video board, nice sight lines, a very accommodating field house. I commend the district for commemorating the fallen astronauts of the 1986 Challenger explosion and the 2003 Columbia tragedy. The atmosphere at graduation was festive, but I can imagine being more than that during a football game.

The 2016-2017 school year is the first season of football. The stadium will hold 10,000 people. It is much nicer than the older Veterans Memorial Stadium on the east side of League City. It is much nicer than what we have had before but still not as nice as other stadiums in the Houston area. However, since I pay taxes in this district, I'm happy that it is not the most expensive stadium in the area. The fans are quite a distance from the field and sound from the stands does not seem to carry as loudly as it did in Veterans Memorial Stadium. It could be that the fans are more spread out and so it doesn't seem as loud. Parking is easy and in abundance. Coming to the game from the Gulf Freeway is a nightmare. You would be better off coming the back way from Friendswood on FM 528. Also, getting out of the parking lot when the game is over is also a nightmare. It is much better to park further from the stadium and walk to your car. You'll get out sooner parking closer to the street and walking to/from your car. Parking close to the stadium can end up being a 30-60 minute wait getting out afterwards.
