I am glad to hear that we are helping the people in New Orleans and throughout LA, MS and AL. They really need our help. Didn't much like playing in the old run down Astrodome anyway. At least it is being put to good use!

They are moving the people from the SuperDome to the Astrodome and have cleared the Astrodomes schedule until the end of the year. So nothing is planned to be in there until next year.

I think they were pretty much done with the dome anyway(Football wise) Wish the best for all the Louisianna people.....atleast they get to see some good texas football.....for FREE! :)

They are going to allow the kids moved from the SuperDome to the Astrodome to attend Houston area schools.
I think it's great.....i'm going to donate some money today to the Red Cross.

I think it is great too, and I would hope that they would do the same for us if that were to happen here. We are so lucky that the hurricane didn't come a little further west, or we would be like New Orleans. True, we probably wouldn't have flooded as much, but the winds would have destroyed the city. I am going to donate, and I am going to go this weekend to volunteer at the Red Cross and see if they need help anywhere.

We ARE the Flood city. The only thing I hate is that it takes something of this magnitute for people to pull together. If we were like this all the time...the world would be a better place. Make you put wars, disputes and all the other things in perespective and think..."There is something out there bigger than all of us". I mean what if this happened in the middle east??? Think about it.

Yeah, he is his younger brother. Eric blew his knee out in college and stopped playing. He walks with a cane now, at least last time I saw him in 2000.

Well you know itwas said they had thought of turning the Dome into a hotel of some kind and now that's just what it has become. Indeed it is our place to help out our fellow neighbors to the east. Though I think that's oenj of the special things about Texas we are often more willing to help others in need than most states might be.
As for this causing the playoff games to b eheld elsewhere. It's not like Houston doesn't have plenty of other places that are more than capable of hosting a play off game. I mean you've got Rice,Robertson,GPISD,Thorne, heck with its recent renovations Delmar wouldn't be a bad place to hold a playoff game. There are plenty of places beside the Dmoe to play games at.

I'm a little miffed that newscasters here in SAT were acting soooo excited at the prospect of hosting the Saints at the Alamodome. Personally, given the gravity and magnitude of the situation and the large number of people needing to simply settle in elsewhere for quite a while, I think we ought to consider saying goodbye to playoffs and other functions at the Alamodome this season, and offer it up in the same way that the so-called "Astrodump" is. I think we're in a situation at the moment where any large building with a roof will be needed to accommodate refugees. Send the Saints to either Royal Stadium or Kyle Field. While they're at it, use the Georgia Dome for similar purposes, and send the Falcons to the "rose hedges" or Ga. Tech or something. This is serious.

Hatter, you're right about the money. On the other hand, it may be a good gesture at the very least for all NFL franchises to donate all the opening-day gate receipts to the relief effort. I also goofed when I referred to the Sanford Stadium "rose hedges." They do have hedges, but they're not rose hedges. You learn something new every day, and here I always figured, for the past 25 years or so, that those hedges were rose hedges, and that was just simply one of the potential hazards (ie, thorns, etc) that visiting teams had to face in the event they ran out of bounds too far on a play, in the same way that LSU would move their Tiger's cage---with the tiger inside---just outside the visitors' locker room jsut before game time and literally rattle the cage in order to stir it up, so when the visitors left to come out for the kick-off, they would be "greeted" by a very angry Tiger.
