And they are right.  The Alamodome cannot handle an event like this has turned in to.  Furthermore, the short sighted managers and politicians who run this town are not ready for it either.  Will result in a black eye for the city.

I would think that Houston would be in line for this

 Is the Houston facility government owned or privately owned?

On top of that, SA has the highest hotel prices in the state during weekends.  Too bad.  It would be good for the city.

I would almost bet money the NFL will move the game to Sunday and the even will remain at Cowboys. I think the UIL is giving Houston and SA lip service as Cowboys is CLEARLY the best venue in the state. Size, travel, kids want to play there, etc.

I've never stepped foot inside that place other than for a UIL event, and don't really plan to, but objectively speaking, it is miles ahead of the other choices.

Harris County owns NRG Stadium so government owned.

Then UIL may have same problems they would have in SA trying to negotiate with a government entity.

Two different parts of government can't negotiate with each other? What a shock. :)
