New pictures,
First game is going to be on May 15th vs DC United (less than 30 days away)

Where the blue lights are, that's the suites
I bet they are going to be the closest suites to the field you are going to find in any stadium in the US.
I bet there's only about 10 rows of seat in front of them.

Sharp looking stadium!! Nice addition to downtown Houston! Much nicer than Dallas' soccer stadium. Oh wait, Dallas doesn't have one, it's in Frisco! =)

Minor correction: first game is May 12th against DC United. May 15th is the first night game against Portland Timbers.

Less than a month to go. Bought season tickets back the day they went on sale and been waiting and raring to go ever since.

each update is more gorgeous than the other. We need five more of these

Laughing my ass off now at these stupid comments made by people who don't have enough imagination to picture how something is going to look when it is completed:

The interior looks fine, but the outside looks like a lot of galvanized poles and chain link fence strung across it. Like I said, sling some razor wire on top and it looks like this place with some different geometry working:

Why do we need a new stadium anyways? Couldn't we just revive the Astrodome and call it the Dynamo Dome or something? What a waste of money. . . .
Its nice that they have all shut up now.

First event there is a training and meet the team session for season ticket holders on May 5th. Unfortunately it looks like I may have a conflict and won't be able to get there. Desperately trying to free myself up, though, so we can get an early look at the new digs.
