All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
It dwarfs the astrodome and holds a hair less than 70,000 fans. The field is put together with *trays* of grass that have global positioning devices embedded in the perimeter of the trays for easy replacement. It is probably the loudest stadium in the league. The sound has NOWHERE to go. The Cowboy game blew me away. The field is extremely close to the stands. The stands go practicly straight up.............
The roof is for the Houston Rodeo. Bob McNair (Owner) wanted an open roof venue. The Rodeo makes millions for Houston. They basicly share the Stadium. Concerts and whatever are brutal in Houstons Humidity in the Summer.
The roof will only be closed during thunderstorms, and high wind (we are in the good ol' hurricane zone).
The roof will be open Sunday. Now, the officials have the SAY to close it. It is not up to the Texans. It is the NFL's mandated rule.
Now if we could only get a marching band at halftime -- that's what pro football teams need, marching bands . . . . . . I'm dead serious. All the high school and college band alumni in the hometown could audition. It would be huge, really huge . . . . So much better than that piped in digital crapola. . . . . .
