Thank you. In response to another poster, cheap tickets are not the answer. In today's world, very few people make a "go/no go" decision on...
NFL players have non-guaranteed contracts, though, right? They can be cut any time and get nothing. Plus, those who stick for a few years...
I agree with this assessment completely, and I wouldn't be surprised if he scuttles any deal within the city. This was one of the reasons that...
It is very difficult to "market" yourself to attendance success. The answer to the problem of empty seats is one that most people don't want...
Has the Comets' attendance deteriorated that bad? I thought they were averaging in the 10K range?
I agree ... and as I've said before on this thread and others, MLS needs to build connections with every community that enjoys soccer. There is...
8,000 on hand for the final. I think A&M is also hosting the 2009 College Cup.
I've lived in Houston -- and surrounding suburbs -- all my life. And yes, there are people who live downtown and close to it ... obviously...

MLS markets to youth clubs because they are easy to identify and reach and they buy lots of tickets. Plus, those people already have proven an...
I don't know what part of Robertson Stadium Steve Davis walked through, but I see lots of "suburban" family-types there. The Dynamo have done a...
I may be wrong here, but ... It seems to me that any parsing of language about which events could and could not be held in the new stadium...
Thanks, Anderson.
