Houston Texans
As one of the newest franchises in the National Football League, the Houston Texans do not have much to show for their efforts to
this point. They are members of the Southern Division of the American Football Conference, one of the toughest in football.
Since 2002, the Texans have not yet made the playoffs, and have had only two .500 seasons, going 8-8 in 2007 and 2008. Still,
there is no lack of support from the fans in Houston, who never hesitate to pick up some cheap Houston Texans tickets and cheer
their team on. The fans of Houston endured five years of having no team after the Houston Oilers slithered out of town to become
the Tennessee Titans.
Reliant Stadium
Reliant Stadium was constructed at the cost of $352 million, and is worth every penny. Reliant is one of the most spectacular
stadiums in the NFL today and was the site of Super Bowl XXXVIII on February 1, 2004 and WrestleMania XXV in April 2009. One of
the most notable aspects of Reliant is the retractable roof, which can be opened or closed in under eight minutes. Reliant’s roof
was famously damaged during Hurricane Ike, but has since been repaired. When you get some cheap Houston Texans tickets, be sure
to check out the roof as it is one of a kind. Don’t forget to stop by the building that started the dome revolution, the Houston
Astrodome, which is still standing right next door to Reliant. Due to the fact that the Astrodome was built partially
underground, Reliant Stadium literally towers above the stadium once called, “the eighth wonder of the world.”
Houston Texans 2009 Team Outlook
When you pick up some cheap Houston Texans tickets you will have a chance to see some of the best young talent in the NFL today.
One of the newest team members is Brian Cushing, the linebacker out of the University of Southern California, who was a Sports
Illustrated First-Team All-American and the Texans first round draft pick. Learning from the standout Texan linebacker DeMeco
Ryans will surely benefit Cushing. You can also watch one of the most exciting young running backs in the league when Steve
Slaton gets his hands on the ball. Slaton is not only a great runner with blazing speed, he is an excellent receiver. The
second-year player out of West Virginia finished the 2008 season with 1,282 yards, 50 pass receptions and 9 touchdowns. This
should be the season the Texans finally get over the hump and make the playoffs.
