I happen to know a little bit about this:

Back in the late 90s and early 2000s, the Rockets had a sort of "gym agreement" with Westside Tennis Club. I used to live behind the facility when I was a kid and I remember you could see a big "Silver Rocket" logo on the side of the building. They then moved to the Toyota Center in 2003 when it opened where they praciced on a single court. In September 2024, the Rockets opened their own practice and training facility, the Memorial Hermann Houston Rockets Training Center. It's just north of The Post Oak Hotel in the West Uptown/Galleria area

20 years old? functionally obsolete. tear it down!

couple thousand tubes of JB Weld and problem taken care of.

So the rumors are true!!!!!!

Didn't realize the Rockets built their own training facility as well. Guess Tillman loves to have everything in the Galleria.

That is a very generous description of the location but your attempt to put lipstick on that pig has failed. It's completely across I-10 from the "West Uptown/Galleria area."

I was thinking the same thing. I guess that ghetto is now referred to as "north post oak."

Tillman often takes his helicopter between there and the San Louis on Galveston. He made the round trip yesterday, in fact.

Disney World will build a theme park in Cypress before HLSR would move out there.

Hmmm. Not so fast my friend.

Make them practice in the dome with the rats until they get better.

In the meantime, send CJ Stroud on a South American Ayahuasca trip to get his head right. Marcel Reed too. Crazy how parallel the last part of their seasons were. They were genuinely the only reasons we tanked. They could both use a cross over into the spirit realm.

Did you guys see the size of that chicken?

People forget Rodeo is more than just the stadium.

NRG Center, NRG Arena, Carnival area, and Astroworld parking.

Plus the light rail is huge for Rodeo.

Lots more plugged in people that have already commented but it would be really hard for Rodeo to leave.

Plus, the Texan aren't leaving playing at NRG. This has been the case for lots of teams in the past. The Rockets used to practice at Westside before Toyota Center was built.

---

Don't they have a separate facility now? Off N. Post Oak near the Loop??

HLSR already has some off location build plans for the events that happen in the center and arena. Both the Texans and HLSR are trying to help alleviate the congestion issues around the stadium with the ever growing med center.

Are you saying there's a real good chance the NRG complex would no longer host the Texans games and Rodeo events?

I know not in the short term but it's inevitable the Texans and Rodeo leave the NRG grounds for greener pastures?

I know you're really connected so don't want you to get in trouble.

Just blink once if true and blink twice if not true.

Reading the tea leaves it looks like at the very least they're positioning themselves to gain some leverage with the county to get what they want.

If they don't get it then the ball is already rolling on contingency plans.

Mr. McGibblets said:

That was already approved. Construction should start in 2027/2028

---

Not that I dont believe you, but is there any documentation anywhere? All I've ever heard is that developers would have to work together before it would become a reality.

I was at the Cy Fair Chamber of Commerce luncheon in December and Commissioner Ramsey announced it as it was just approved that week or week prior.

Isn't this also in Harris County?

Yeah. Pretty sure Harris county had a press conference about how great the news was.

I guess he added an extra B just for any contingencies.

Who's counting?

I'm assuming you see the difference between some pie in the sky assessment by a consulting group saying that there is up to 2B in future upgrades necessary and "the county is already behind by 2-3B"

Go drive Katy Hockley north of Katy to 290. Drive Fry Road. See the discussion on bridge connectivity over Cypress Creek. Harris County has waited and squeezed developers to make road and mobility improvements instead of doing one of the fundamental things it was set up to handle. All the while they are taking in the property taxes from all those communities to fund who knows what.

OK

Friends of thee…

As a resident of Brazos County, it would be fun to watch a high stakes poker game between the McNair's and any nearby county officials. Y'all may have more emotions involved with the team, but I would let them walk. Someone else will come along.
