The MLS Dynamo Field, http://www.houstondynamo.com/stadium/ could work for the three games which lack a venue.

Dynamo stadium would be cool. Looks like a nice venue in a cool area.

Let's have it at Ford. Alternate would be an grocery parking lot in Denton.

22k is WAY too small for the UH fanbase.

a couple of year ago they pretty much filled up at 31,000+ (32,000 capacity) but last year attendance dropped to 27,000+

Rice is the best option. Sort of awkward to ask them, though.

Rice is my top choice. Play a few games at Reliant and play the conflicted games at Rice. I'm not sure that Rice is going to be a good partner in this.

Alternatively, the Sack N Save parking lot in Denton would work. Close down the feeder road and you have a mini-asphalt Boulevard.

Amon Carter capacity was reduced during renovations and TCU survived as did their fan base. I think UH will be ok if they have to use the Dynamo's stadium for two or three games

Money talks. If anything give Rice half of the income derived from any ticket sales beyond 22,000 as that is the direct benefit to playing at Rice Stadium over BBVA. Rice wins, Houston wins, SMU wins.

Dynamo Stadium is a wonderful venue but it is on the smaller side...feel that fans would love feeling so close to the action

Can Minute Maid Park be playable for football? . . . Won't have to worry about the Astros playing that time of the year. :lol:
