I just got back from Houston and I must say the facility they have there is top notch. The Texan fans are excellent and they are very hospitable. My wife and I sat in a section with all Texan fans and they were sick by the end of the first half.
One of the things I noticed is that they are really going through rough times in Houston, but the fan base is very loyal during these rough time. It was great in our section when a guy wearing a Dallas jersey came down the isle, he was booed with authority...even worse than I when I walked up and down the isle. LOVE IT!
If you ever get a chance, get to Houston for a game, it is well worth the trip and the facilities are very nice.

Yeah they seem very nice, and I saw alot of fans that stayed there till the end. That is very respectable.

Maybe not having a team for a few seasons really makes a fan base appreciate it all that much more.
I'm still planning to go to the game in NO this December; hopefully I'll have a similiar experience. Although, I know the facilities won't be nearly as nice.

Heres the one thing I never got. If they are such loyal texans fans, why didnt they do more to keep the Oilers in town. Theres that hilarious video where they have the save our oilers rally, and like 15 people come. Theres the indelible imagine of that old man in an oilers hate waving a little flag. Hilarious. Anyway, more power to them for sticking by the Texans.

I doubt Los Angeles would appreciate a new team though.
I don't know what that city's problem is...they've lost a lot of teams over the history of football. The NFL wants a team in LA more than people in LA want a team.

Older Redskins fans know what rough times are all about. Kudos to the fans of the Texans for keeping the faith!

Call me crazy, but I have a lot more respect for the fans who are inhospitable to opposing teams' fans. I like people who insist upon maintaining a good 12th man advantage, even if it means coming across like a jackass.

Absolutely!
Although this just proves that the Skins fans are the best in the world. We took crap for so many years yet we all stuck around. You might think this is typical of sports fans, but I assure you, it is not.
So yes, Congrats to the texans fans, but congrats to us!
