Sports Fans- You are going to love Houston Texas

By
Real Estate Agent with Results Realty

If you are a sports fan, you are going to love living in the Houston Texas area!  We have basketball, baseball, football, soccer & hockey, so there is something for everyone!

The city of Houston has had professional teams playing since the late 1800s.  TheHouston TX Soccer very first championship banner was raised to the roof in 1889 by the Houston MudCats baseball team.  On August 13, 1897, due to the Houston TX baseballSpanish-American war, Houston did not have a professional baseball team for a couple of years.  In total, Houston teams have brought home 46 championships to the Bayou city. 

Houston is the proud home to the Houston Astros baseball team,  Houston Rockets Basketball, the Houston Texans Football, the Houston Aeros Hockey, The Houston Dynamo's Soccer, and Houston Comets Women's basketball. 

Houston has some of the finest stadiums in the country as well.  We have Reliant Stadium, it is right next to the Astrodome, which was the pride of Houston for many years.  The Reliant Stadium is air conditioned with a retractable roof.  It is home to the Houston Texans along with the Rodeo, Monster Jam and other events requiring a stadium of that size. 

The Astros play at Minutemaid Park downtown.  This is a fabulous stadium with a retractable roof as well and is air conditioned.  Houston is the most air conditioned city in the world, so nearly every place in Houston is air conditioned. 

Toyota Center is home to the Houston Rockets.  This too is a fairly newHouston TX Rockets stadium and presently is also the home to the Houston Aeros.  The Houston Comets plays at Toyota Center as well. 

The Houston Dynamo Soccer team came to Houston in 2006.  They were the back to back champions in 2006 & 2007.   They play at Roberts Stadium presently. There are plans to build a brand new soccer stadium downtown.

Marchel - Yes, they go back quite far.  Baseball returned to Houston in 1903 after the Spanish-American war.

I am a big sports fan and considering a move to Houston.  Its really great to find something like this promoting all of the different venues there.  I did not know you had a hockey team either. Here in Michigan hockey is staple sport so nice to know I could get my fix.

Wow Candy, Love the info about the professional sports here in Houston. If you add all the high school, and little leagues, Houston has enough to keep any sports enthusiast busy. Definitely worth a feature in my book.

Courtney - Actually Courtney, it was hard to keep as narrowed down as I did.  We are so lucky to be in Houston with so much going on.  We even have a women's football team, it is like a minor league I believe.  Like you said, with the college and high school, the list would go on and on.  Thanks for the nice comment and the feature!

Its too bad that all this sport we have is quite waisted on me. Maybe I will learn to love one of them one of these days.

Shellee - I know how you feel on some of the sports.  I like basketball and I love tennis!  Agasse kept it exciting so that is dwindled somewhat.  I still watch it, but not like I used to.  Don't really get football.
