Reliant Stadium and the Texans

After being in Houston for almost 4 years I at last went to a game......... the fact that it was a pretty meaningless game didn't matter much to me; I was thrilled to see an NFL game in person once again.  It's been a long time.

Our favorite Real Estate lady ( also a Cameron Hughes wine fan ) provided the tickets and even though I am hurting from back pain and still suffering also from the dreadful cough I've had for 4 weeks, I went.  The tickets were incredibly good.  Field level on the Texans side on the 35 yd line,  WOW!

Here  I am approaching the colossal amphitheater......And that's the left index finger of the stranger who took the picture.

I was really pleased with the seats... here's Matt Schaub ......

Despite the dismal record the Texans have this year the stadium was packed by game time.  Here is a rather long video showing how the fans cheer each of the players by yelling their names as they are introduced....






Here's one where Steve Slayton returns a punt.  It looks like if he'd cut right about 5 yards before he was tackled he would have had a blocker and maybe gone a long way........




It was a terrific time.  Thanks Gayle.
