It was 1961. I just finished reading an article about the game in my local paper. As it turns out, the tight end that caught the first TD for the Texans is a local boy from here (Billy Miller).

It was a good article, except for one thing. Maybe it's just the way the reporter wrote it, but it made Houston sound rather feminine.

"Playing with the roof of their $449 million stadium closed because of threatening clouds, Houston....."

You've gotta be kidding. Did they play football or Bridge? Are they gonna have a fit if they have to play in weather this year, or was it the Cowboys that were afraid of melting? I also didn't realize that the Astrodome was so small. If this was the biggest crowd ever in Houston to see a football game, and it was only 69k people, the Astrodome must have been tiny (especially since this new place is supposed to be so much bigger)! Arizona/Washington drew 15,000 more people than the Dallas/Texans game, which surprises me because the Cardinals could count their fans on two hands. I thought Texas always did things BIG. Maybe they were worried about getting wet. LOL

j/k

Take care,
