Houston has more major sports.
Year round symphony and opera. Museum district is larger.
Houston has a gay mayor! Talk about progressive!
Houston people seem more friendly.

Dallas is ok...but not better.
D/FW has more, but oh well. Houston is not hurting for a hockey team by any means. I'm more concerned about Houston's pro soccer team, the Dynamo's building their new stadium in downtown, making it 3 major sports arenas in downtown alone & a total of 5 in the whole city!!! On the contrary, Dallas only has 1 stadium in its downtown. The Cotton Bowl is so old it doesn't even count.

Not this again.

The fact that a stadium is one city over doesnt keep people from going to it. The Patriots still have fans even though they dont play in Boston, the Dolphins have fans even though they dont play in Miami, etc. Cowboys stadium is in the middle of the Metro area.

Sounds like the Dallasites are the sensitive ones. Having to break out pictures when people talk smack about their city! Why don't yall cry about it?

You DAMN right. Sounds like you should be preaching that to kdogg and landaron who started this back and forth debate. Now i'm just having fun and i assumed they were too

But since we're getting serious, do i need to go pulling posts to show how antagonizing their posts were?

I am just joking around and I praised Houston Skyline on the other page. Even said it would be the best skyline in the nation if all the building where compacted together.
