I don't think that there's anyway to avoid not having a stage.
The stadium has to be a money maker and twenty soccer games, plus TSU throwball is not going to generate the revenue. One outdoor concert can draw 20 plus thousand and remember that AEG…
Yes I agree with the retractable seats if there is gonna be a stage built into the base of the stage...... They are just thinking about the stadium in the long run. Revenue is gonna be needed to keep the Stadium running...... Having large concerts c…
Where did you hear that?
NO STAGE!!!!!!! It looks like absolute crap at Pizza Hut Park as well. They spend time and money hiding the damn thing during soccer games. The only stage that would work to me would have retractable seats sliding to the sid…
You are not totally screwed ... Let me explain what you have and what you can do:
There are 38 Dynamo games planned for 2009 (30 MLS/8 CONCACAF). 21 of the games are nationally televised (ESPN, FSC, Telefutura), so you will get all of them on satellite. The remaining 17 games are on KHOU. Eight of the KHOU games are simulcast on Fox Sports Houston, so you can get those eight games on satellite as well.
That leaves you with a balance of 9 out of 38 games that can’t be seen on satellite.
It’s my understanding from people in the TV world that you can still get 11.2 if you have a digital television. We’ve been told that most digital TV’s have built in tuners that can pick up 11.2 “over the air”.
Your other option would be to purchase the MLS Direct Kick package which will give you all of the MLS games every week, including those on KHOU.
We recognize that this is not the perfect situation for some viewers, but the opportunity for us to start a relationship with KHOU and grow the Dynamo alongside 11.2 was too good to pass up. Eventually, 11.2 will be everywhere, and we plan to be right there with them in a big way.
Let me preface this by saying I don't think the Dynamo are done yet. They can still possibly squeak in like NY did several years ago and Real Salt Lake last year. (I think that's right). I'm exited about that underdog role.
I just don't get why Odu…
We do have a 1st round pick (for the first time in awhile) and I hope we utilize it more than we have in years past.
I have to believe that we'll be reshaping a roster this offseason dramatically and it seems quite clear that the Dynamo are done fo…
Oduro to Dynamo for 2 draft picks (2010 & 2011).
Serioux to Dynamo for a third round 2011 MLS SuperDraft pick.
Houston should do some late trades to get some 2011 SuperDraft picks.
I think it was very evident by the starting lineup this past Sunday that Dom and the guys have thrown in the towel. I can't remember if we actually have draft picks this year or if we traded them away. If we do have them, its time to finally get mul…
