HOUSTON - Reliant Stadium (71,500) - Page 6

Everyday I lose more and more faith in humanity.

It may well be in my lifetime that dolphins become the most intelligent mammals on the planet.

Reliant looks spectacular for the MLS All Star "game" (all star games are lame, just my opinion. this is a bunch of players vs a real team) Just imagine this place in the world cup, or if MLS ever becomes popular enough to fill these stadiums.

Someone from another board I lurk related this story about Reliant...

"Just watching the MUTV link of the all star game.

The English commentators are in awe of Reliant Stadium and they actually said its the best stadium they have ever seen and puts Wembley to shame !!!"

I don't see any pics man.

Archbishop · July 30th, 2010, 06:51 AM

I see them. Reliant is awesome.

trmather · July 31st, 2010, 02:52 AM

I'd seriously love to watch United there.

Hell, I'd seriously love to watch anyone there, one of my very favourite stadiums.

The bowl is just about perfect for either football, concourses and clubs seem nice too. Not a fan of the exterior though.

koolio · August 1st, 2010, 12:20 AM

Yeah the exterior is nothing special but the interior is best in the world for my money. Absolutely terrific.

I LOVE Reliant. I've been there for my school's annual Labor Day game against Texas Southern and for Wrestlemania. I also plan to be there for the Final Four this year, so I should see three different set ups.

When I was there for Wrestlemania, before I got into the stadium, I ran into some Brits dressed up like a few of the wrestlers. One of em couldn't say enough good about it, offered me a beer and started talkin' about soccer (of course

) Most of the matches sucked, but I liked it. I had a good time both times I was there. The only thing I don't like about the stadium is the hour and a half wait for getting out of the parking lot.

Oh, and to all you guys who trash talk pro wrestling..... that's fine. You don't have to like it, but you shouldn't belittle others who do. I don't care if you're a Rhodes Scholar, you're not big enough or smart enough or better than anybody to talk down on others. Everyone in this world has an asshole, we don't need you to add to the number.

Live, let live, and peace out folks.

Pro Wrestling is for little children and pre-teens.

Looks like someone ignored the last paragraph.

It's okay though....

gavstar00 · August 5th, 2010, 08:07 PM

I may piss a few Cowboys fans off in saying this but Reliant is a much better looking stadium! No gadgets and novelty scoreboards, just a proper retractable roof stadium the way it should be!
