Still shocks the conscience that Houston had no pro football team from 1996 to 2002.
If American football had a **** it would be in Houston.
Hell you got high schools in Houston with $80 million dollar stadiums.
At the time everybody thought a deal would eventually get done, but it didn't.
And it didn't really sink in until that first year no team and no football at the Dome.
They even jerked people off for a few years with the Tennessee Oilers until they change the name so there wasn't that big of an uproar.
Still one of the biggest failures of all time with respect to the cultural identity and cohesiveness of a city.
The cop cars were Oiler blue. Now they black and whites like every other city.
An unbelievable course of events 30-years on.
