NDN79 Posted November 21, 2010 Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 Does Reliant Stadium in Houston allow high schools to play there any more? I thought the 1st couple of years it was open they did, but I haven't seen it in recent years. Any one have any information on this?It is a great place to watch a game, and seems like a natural choice for double and triple headers like they used to do in the Astrodome.

baddog Posted November 21, 2010 Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 It would be a great place to play, but they probably don't want any high school teams coming in there and showing up the Texans. ;DMan, I couldn't pass that up.Good suggestion NDN79.

NDN79 Posted November 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 ;D LOL You got that right baddog, especially after the way the Texans played today and last week!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ECBucFan Posted November 21, 2010 Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 Sure it would be a great stadium - but prohibitively expensive! Reliant, with its retractable roof and all would cost a ton. Too many other extremely nice stadiums around to push to get into Reliant, IMO.

[/quote]PNG/Nederland played LaMarque/Brenham there two years running in pre-district. Playoffs would bring in even more fans. I don't know how it is all paid for.

Mr. Buddy Garrity Posted November 21, 2010 Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 I would think it would cost more to play at the Death Star than Reliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texaslonghorn14 Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 This issue with Reliant is the cost and natural grass. The officials with the Texans do not want multiple games to tear up the grass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texaggies07 Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 Used to be games at Rice and Robertson stadium also. Not so much anymore. Part of the deal is districts building these super stadiums that the entire districts play in and they are priced just right for schools to play in. This is just my opinion.

pe2009 Posted November 24, 2010 Report Share Posted November 24, 2010 It's the Natural Grass at Reliant, that's the reason why more games arent played there. I wish Roberson Stadium was used more, makes for a great atmosphere. In 2008 when the State title games where at Reliant, the field was HORRIBLE after the first game. I agree....the dome is sitting there rotting........could have some quadruple headers there this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
