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. The very first championship banner was raised to the roof in 1889 by the Houston MudCats baseball team. On August 13, 1897, due to the Spanish-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 new 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.
