    We all know now that, although BBVA is a stadium for the Dynamo, it is not the Dynamo's stadium. The turf last weekend showed you that...

    The biggest reason is this: The Dynamo and UH are not exactly friends. It's rumored that when UH approached the FO about games that there were those who wanted to tell them to get lost...money prevailed, though.

    So the Coogs want to play in a 22,000 seat stadium rather than playing in a 50,000+ seat stadium.

    Not surprised by this, I understand that they don't want to play in their bitter rivals' home stadium. That's like Club America playing their home matches at either Estadio Azul (Cruz Azul) or Estadio Olímpico Universitario (Pumas).

    Have you been to Rice lately? The infrastructure is even worse than the Rob, without any of the openness.

    I forgot I saw this about the UH game last weekend. I saw a bit of the game and it was chewed up pretty good.

    ^I ever wondered what will happen if the Kansas Jayhawks played at Sporting Park or Rutgers playing at Red Bull Arena or Villanova plays at PPL Park.

    It's really ironic that UH is playing in our stadium and complaining about the condition of the field, isn't it?

    From day 1 i have wondered if we got the right grass. We have TifGrand vs the standard Tifsport. Not sure why we picked something different. TifGrand spose to have better shade tolerance, but I wouldnt think thats a big deal for us.
