"Houston's Awakening"

The city of Houston has long been known as a city of industry, business, etc. For a while, it really was a destination for these purposes, and almost nothing else. Although Houston has maintained its industrial title, it has become a more complete city throughout time. A major addition to the cities vast attractions was the construction of the Reliant Stadium/Park.



The Reliant Park brought along with it much more than just a football field, the Rodeo, and various other sporting events. It brought with it a sense of the "American culture" and community. Instead of attracting the people of the city for business meetings, it invites everyone to enjoy the vibrance of the city through public sporting events. These events create a sense of community along with an almost city-wide "bonding" experience where folks from all over the world get to exist in unity for whatever period of time. The Reliant Park represents an almost "liveliness" of the city rather than viewing Houston strictly as a polluted city with no heart.
