The US Soccer Players blog has a take on the Houston Stadium situation from an outsider's viewpoint. "This hasn’t gone down well with anyone. From the Mayor who said he doesn’t respond well to threats, to the fans who have supported their club at Robertson Stadium, and even the far removed from Houston neutrals like this Grown Man. The prestige of the league would suffer a blow if its second dynasty franchise was moved for the same reason twice."
And Fox News talks about a possible "new ally" for a Downtown Dynamo stadium: TSU. (Not TSU, TSU.) "'TSU athletics and its football program would be excited to be able to participate and partner with all entities involved in the project to ensure Texas Southern has a state of the art football facility,' said Charles McClelland, the schools' new athletics director."

But wouldn`t the TSU deal be just a little improvement over using Robertson Stadium?, I get that tthe TSU will be different from being just the team that rents the stadium, but I can see many scheduling conflicts.
Jardin,
Yup, if the Dynamo team with TSU, it will be only slightly better. Yeah, it'll be a stadium designed with soccer in mind, but we'll have the scheduling conflicts you mention plus we'll have to put up with those nasty football lines for the last half of the season.
Such a deal would say "Okay, we're not REALLY interested in a stadium because it will make the game better; we're interested in a stadium to make money. In fact, since we'd have the same situation as at The Rob, this shows that we have no problem with how The Rob compromises the game on the field, we just have a problem with the allocation of green stuff off the field."
