God, Houston is so depressingly ugly. Is there a tree to be seen? Oh wait there are a few to break up the endless flat suburban sprawl. Hurry, lets jump in out air conditioned car and drive 20 miles to the new mega-mall.

Yup. That's Houston out there in the desert. Why on earth would you expect to see any trees.

I was actually about to start posting pictures of our treeless landscape here in Houston, but decided I'd have better use of my time than wasting it on someone with the nerve to judge a city based on a few images of with the focus on a construction site.

Thanks for the update, photolitherland, progress!

Desert? Is this serious or are you being sarcastic? Check in your American geography books. Swamp maybe, desert no.

He's being sarcastic.

Well look who is being ignorant: It is a construction site genius! Houston is covered in trees, you can't see downtown from a large part of trees because of all the trees! Secondly that is the worst angle to view the Houston skyline from so don't say Houston is ugly...

Such sissy's....think of all the stadiums worldwide located in Asia and the Middle East that aren't covered. Soccer is more of a sport than a hotdog beer festival with a little game in the middle where guys throw a ball and rest...then kick the ball and rest.

JoePDX needs some course work in geography. I still run into people who think Houston is somewhere out west near Phoenix. They have no idea it's in one of the wettest and greenest areas of the country, and that the piney woods come down into the center of the city and then transition abruptly to the coastal grasslands and marshes. Of course, this year's drought has been an exception to the historical climate there.

I was in Florida last year and met a very nice lady whose friend had moved to Pearland, a southern suburb of Houston. She wondered why anyone would move "out west" when they could have Florida. lol

Here are some updated photos of the stadium at night from the Dynamo's Facebook page.

If you look carefully, you can see a tree.

It looks really nice, no doubt about it. Hopefully it will continue to help out the redevelopment of the near-downtown area that is just east of Hwy. 59!

Not too many cities have so many stadiums and a giant convention centre so close to each other and light rail to boot. Now we just need some decent urban infill on that side of town and no more of that gated garage centric tin sided schlock condos that are all too common all across Houston's gentrifying districts.
