First game I went to was in 1971, which is the Vaught in the second pic. Have been to at least one game every year since.

The first game that I distinctly remember is the one where Archie broke his arm... or rather where a Houston defender broke Archie's arm.

That would've been in 1970, year before I went. U use to could just walk up at game time and buy good seats back then. Times have changed.

The addition of enclosing the north end zone make the stadium pretty darn good looking now. We have arrived.

Probably old news but what happened to the original planned design? While this is definitely an upgrade, it still doesn't have that wow factor.

Dome the stadium, LOL. Not sure I know what is missing. Probably money if it was more than this.
