Minute Maid Park - Home of the Astros (who **** me off on a regular basis lately)
Toyota Center - Rockets and Aeros (R.I.P Comets!) - the first one is a good pic of the Toyota Center but a.) It doesn't have the giant Toyota emblem on the roof for some strange reason and b.) it doesn't show how close to downtown it is (the second one does though )
Reliant Stadium - Home of the Houston Texans and the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo (the world's largest rodeo) - notice the Astrodome sitting next to it...we're still not sure what to do w/ that thing
COMING SOON!! - Houston's own MLS league the Houston Dynamo and their brand new home - DYNAMO STADIUM!!
Dynamo Stadium will LITERALLY be across the freeway from Minute Maid Park and around 15 blocks from the Toyota Center meaning Houston will have three of it's four major stadiums within walking distance. Reliant Park (which is where Reliant Stadium and the Reliant Center are along w/ the Astrodome) are a short Metro LightRail ride away and sit just south of Houston's "other" downtown - The Texas Medical Center
What I love about Houston's stadiums is that AFTER the game, downtown is just across the street...literally and so there are plenty of bars and pubs and what not to go and keep celebrating (or, in the case of the Astros, drown your sorrows/embarrassment in inordinate amounts of booze). As far as football games go, the Medical Center doesn't really have any bars (I mean...it's the Medical Center...what did you expect?) BUT the MetroLight Rail literally pulls up RIGHT next to the parking lot for Reliant Stadium so after the game (or the Rodeo) you can hope on a train into downtown (via midtown...which has plenty of cool places too) to party!!
Ford Field. Some people think it's a dome structure, but it's not as it's a steel structure. Has skylights built in the walls to let
the natural light into the stands.
Comerica Park (The Copa)
Joe Louis Arena (The Joe) It's outdated (31 years old), but has great sight lines for watching Hockey.
The Palace of Auburn Hills (The Palace) is not in Detroit. So I'm not going to post pics of it. I hear it set the bar for the current modern NBA arenas
