It's been discussed on this board in numerous threads about the possibility of Texas Southern sharing a new soccer-specific Houston Dynamo facility in Houston. The proposed land is actually "around the corner" from the Texas Southern campus and it would help the Dynamo on many fronts (more dates, help politically, etc) to have Texas Southern involved. AGS's own 3rd Coast Tiger has even been involved in meetings.

Some interesting developments in Houston in the last 24 hours. The mayor of Houston was given a letter that the MLS sent to the Dynamo talking about how they need to get their act together regarding building a stadium and even threatened relocation. Houston does not take kindly to this sort of thing -- especially considering what happened with the Oilers.

The mayor said the letter was intimidating. The Dynamo said they just wanted the mayor to see what kind of pressure they were getting from the league.

We'll see what happens -- the MLS did not do any favors in writing the letter, which they knew would make it in the public and I think that we'll see even more interest in the development of the stadium.

Question to the faithful from the SWAC and TxSo...

Do you like the idea of the proposed Dynamo-TxSo partnership?

Would the Labor Day Classic move to the new stadium (or do you think it can outdraw what the stadium holds when TxSo turns around their program)?

Could it be conceivable to think that PVA&M may be willing to move a game like the Southern contest to this facility, instead of putting it at Reliant, Tully or wherever...?

Any other thoughts?
