We're not just talking sprinkles either..the weather has SUCKED here and everything is soaked, and theres been lightening storm on top of lightening storms. 
It has not stopped raining since then. Just in short spurts. Once the top is closed, it cannot be reopened during a game. I would not think considering the gullywasher we've had here for the past week, that they would have even TAKEN the chance of opening the top.
. So, NO, the Texans are not Wussys.
The Reliant Stadium is actually not that much bigger as far as how many people it will hold. Maybe a few thousand. And the reason that its the biggest crowd ever to see an NFL game here is because not since the 70's and Luv Ya Blue, have they REALLY been worth seeing.
Back in those days, the Astrodome was even SMALLER, they revamped it many years ago, adding quite a few more seats. Its still not that much smaller than the Reliant Stadium...The city of Houston is just finally excited and pumped about an NFL team for a change.  TNT

Relax. I didn't write it, I read it. I will admit that while 6 months ago I didn't even know what part of Texas Houston was in, I have, for one reason or another, paid closer attention to the weather there since last May, and yes, you guys have truly pissed off the Weather Gods. Twice now, you lucky ducks got more rain in an afternoon than Ventura did in the past 14 months. Anyway, that article did make your new boys sound rather gay, but what does he know!
What I think is really fascinating is I remember when the Astrodome went up, and it seemed SOOOOOOO BIG back then. LOL. Maybe it's just because I was so small.
Take care,
