I have said it before but something like this should be planned, designed, financed and built with the involvement of a broader community, intergovernmental and private investor base as part of a more comprehensive regional infrastructure, transportation, entertainment and community events hub providing a broader regional benefit than just an on-campus football stadium. Instead of just reacting to impact of such a project, they should use it to create positive synergy for a better community. What the hell does an OCS have to do with a transportation plan for the entire city. I think you must have your sarcastic font on and if so then my apologies. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are a visionary and a dreamer which is not a bad combination, my apologies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With that said. I did notice Houston’s attendance has never really been impressive. Think there are probably too many sports teams and other things to do. Maybe that will change in big 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Houston "Mass Transit line" is horrible. It basically goes from downtown to the Medical District. I don't think many students ride it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now they have been spoiled recently by wins in both men’s hoops & football. Imagine if USF had that going for us fans. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had mass transit lines prior to when the stadiums were built and as stated previously, the transit in Houston is trash and services 20 miles in a 10,000 square mile metro area, little impact if any.
