    Rain or Shine, It's Cougar Time!!!
    Gary W.

    Nothing like fresh air and football.. TDECU stadium is a decent size and the stairs to the nosebleed seats are a bit steep, but there is nothing like sitting on a seat pad layered between you and concrete rooting for your college team. This particular day a heavy storm passed in the area of the stadium bring heavy rains, a brief thunderstorm and lightening strikes within 5 miles of the stadium, but the Coog Safety team was way ahead with its warnings and action plan before the weather made it over the stadium. The cellular service was spotty and one vendor's card service dropped completely so there was some disappointed patrons, me included. Overall, had fun and shared good memories and loud cheers with my daughter.

    Great location for some football. Seats we're comfortable but beware the shade is hard to come by. Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate. Wear shorts and a hat. Cheer loudly for the Roughnecks. Have a great time. Parking is pricey but convenient.

    My son and I have been coming to games here for years! Always a great day or night out with family or friends. We enjoy support the Houston cougars! For some odd reason no ones cellphones every work here. Not sure why as I have Verizon. They show full bars and LTE but will simply not work. Can anyone shed some light in this? We cannot be the only ones. We haves at in multiple sections. If it's a day game it can be very hot. We prefer the night games. Today wasn't too bad. It was definitely hot thought. Wear your sunglasses, sun screen and a hat. Parking is decent. Food is priced pretty cheap. I will keep coming to support the Houston cougars for years to come! Go coogs! Get in their mailing list if you want access to good deals on tickets.

    Came here to attend the inaugural game for the Houston Roughnecks of the XFL and it was a good stadium experience. This is a college stadium (University of Houston) so it did lack of some of the more modern amenities that you may find in an NFL Stadium but the game was good and the crowd electric, therefore it made for good entertainment. The seats are a little close to each other so i did feel a little cramped and from my vantage point I only had a good view of the main Jumbo screen and depending on where you sit, you may not have the best view of the two screens in the corners. As with any sporting event the food and drinks are way too expensive. As a season ticket holder, I'll be calling this home for the next couple of months.

    My first football game was UH Coogs versus the Connecticut Huskies. I haven't been to a football game since high school and forgot how exciting it can be. Home games are always the best. The entire campus gets drenched in red as it was a weekday game. For visitors, parking is usually $10 at garages and various student lots. Definitely recommend coming early. There was a tailgate and also come early for a good seat. The line was a breeze and some souvenirs were handed out. Coming here an hour before the game start has its downside. The sun was burning. What can you expect? Houston weather for ya. Bring a cap or some sunglasses. Anyways, I really enjoy my first football game. The entire stadium was packed with spirit and I lost my voice.

    Whose house! Coogs house! What a great game against Tulsa last night! Our team fought it down to the last minute, and we won!! I haven't seen so much school spirit from U of H since I graduated here. Don't ask me when I did. Lol! But, just the camaraderie and level of excitement in the stadium was electrifying! The TDECU stadium itself is beautiful and well kempt. There was good air circulation throughout. Food and drinks were expensive, which was to be expected. Thank goodness we ate prior to the game! But, we did have to buy bottled water, since it was still kind of warm and humid outside. The best value IMO would be to buy the 1 L Smart water bottle for about $5. It's better than buying Dasani, which was less than 1 L and priced close to $5. You can share that bottle with another person. Or if you're like me, you can drink the entire bottle yourself. Lol. Parking is a pain as well. So try to come at least 30 min earlier to find a decent parking spot. Unfortunately, we had to pay $20 for the parking lot off of Scot and Simmons St. Overall, I really enjoyed the experience here, and will return for future games to support U of H. Go Coogs!

    I may be biased, but I love coming here! If you're not in the 300-section row 20+, your seat is probably pretty good. Once you get up that high, you start getting winded climbing the steps and the air starts getting a bit thinner. The crowd can be amazing (when the stadium is packed and fans want to make some noise). They serve beer all around the stadium and have the standard stadium fare as well as Chick-fil-a if you find them. I've also found that the entrance gates move the lines pretty quickly. The view of the Houston skyline is pretty awesome. I miss the character of Robertson, but TDECU is a great facility upgrade. GO COOGS!!!!

    If you live in the Houston Area you should visit to watch a University of Houston Football Game. It is a great experience and the price is great for any size family. The atmosphere is electric and it can make for a fun date night, guys or girls night out or just getting around people who want to have a great day or night. Search the hashtag #HTownTakeover or #GoCoogs on social media and come spend a day or evening at TDEDU Stadium.

    Wow, this is the easily the best fully outdoor stadium in Houston. It is modern in both its design and its amenities, it's got plenty of infrastructure to support games with a large parking garage, many outlying parking lots around campus, and plenty of public transportation (even light rail station coming in the next few months). This place is HUGE (although quite majestic) compared to old Robertson Stadium, so get a game plan together about where to meet your group like you would at NRG Stadium because it can be quite a hassle to walk around this place a couple of times. If you are not a good stair climber, I also urge you to sit in a lower section. The top seats can be murder to walk up, but it's really just the nature of having a place like this. The view of the nearby Downtown skyline is awesome, and seating is sturdy. Once this place gets going, it can be a real pleasure to watch a football game, and if you haven't been yet, you are doing yourself a disservice.

    As a UH student I went to many games at the old Robertson Stadium. This new stadium is a much needed upgrade. Definitely doing good for the university. Went to the home opener and it was extremely fun. Hope to see more games this season. I would recommend to anyone. Go Coogs!!

    Perfect night for a football game the staff is friendly and it's always good stadium. The food is always good but expensive so bring your wallet and make sure you support the Houston cougars because they will bring you a great football game

    Those with higher seats on the south part are lucky to get a great glance of the Houston skyline, which gives life to the school's "For the city" mantra.

The center is modern, clean, organized and has all the amenities. I came prepared with a clear bag but entry was still a breeze. Security does a great job pointing people in the direction of their seats and ensuring that stairways and hallways remain clear. In terms of food and drink, I was really impressed with the number of options. They have two full service food counters on either side of the arena. While I personally did not get anything, I saw people passing by with nachos and popcorn. If you want something a little more substantial Antones Poboys and Chick-fil-a were both set up for grab and go. They also had lots of alcoholic beverage options from tall boy beers, liquor for cocktails and even a spiked fresh lemonade stand. The arena has a fan shop onsite, some historical displays and a kid coloring zone. The game itself was well played (they won!) and executed from the announcer to the lights and entertainment. Great experience overall.

Firstly, this was the same venue that hosted Houston's Phi Slama Jama teams that included Hakeem Olajuwon, Michael Young, and Clyde Drexler. Before Toyota Center, even before the Summit/Compaq Center, Houston had Hofheinz Pavilion. This was the original home of the Houston Rockets when they moved here. It hosted live acts such as Elton John, Elvis Presley, The Rolling Stones, The Jackson 5, Madonna, Genesis, Prince, and Bob Dylan to name few. Yes, this place is a bit dated looking, but it most definitely looks nothing like a high school arena. Hofheinz Pavilion seats about 8,500 spectators, has multiple video screens, etc. The University of Houston has announced $40 million in upgrades, and already blows all other basketball arenas in the Houston area away minus the Toyota Center and Reliant Arena.

Couldn't believe that I actually got to do it and Astros won the match that day, and THAT made all the difference. The erstwhile Minute Maid park was brought over by Daikin and Astros get to rule here. Watching on TV gives all the close ups, but the Texan pride songs, the motivation trumpets, the train horn when one hits a home run, that's just such a blast and have to be in person to experience it. ! It is an all natural grass field. Wonder how they maintain it. I thought it was a carpet until I was rectified. It is just soo neat and beautiful. While it is majorly a baseball stadium, during off seasons it is also used for soccer, rugby, or even concerts. The hallway is filled with pictures of legends and Baseball heroes. The floor shines like a new penny and everyone is soo very friendly and in the spirit of the game. Parking was a breeze since it was VIP entrance. But, there is a huge huge parking fitting all pockets, with some walking involved. There is a also a metro station about 15-20 min walk, for those who want to be spared the trouble of parking. Got entrance with the Gallagher club which was right next to the train (the train while hoots and moves at every home run) As soon as the wards outside check ur tickets and let you in, you walk right into a restaurant cum bar kind of a place. Except that all food, and most beverages are free, or, added onto the price of the ticket... The food bar was huge and a lot of them did not speak english, but that did not matter because those who could went out of their way to help me get only vegetarian. I stuck to salads and then loaded myself on desserts- oh the desserts ! I mean their bite size cakes, the mango pudding, cookies....and ice cream....it was just a party ! The game itself It was the first of the three matches of the Astros team. They played against Rookies. The friends' I went with explained the scoring and the rules and stuff, and pretty soon I was oohing and awwing and screaming while rooting for the home team. It was soo much fun !!! Not my first time in a stadium, but definitely my first time watching Astros, or even baseball for that matter in live action. Astros won and the stadium ruptured with screams. Ahhh...THAT ...that is what makes a live action sport all worth it. (U can book driverless cab WAYMO near the stadium The cherry on the top was I also saw my first electric driverless cab. It has a bigger board and runs in the downtown area of Houston for now. As I watched the passengers get into the car, my heart was beating fast with anxiety. THough I am aware that it is where the future is heading, a car with no driver- still gives me the chills ! .....Lol ) A great night overall. Perfect blast of a getaway with friends.

The climate control alone is a huge win, and the retractable roof adds flexibility depending on the weather. The views from just about anywhere in the park are great, and the overall atmosphere is exciting whether you're a die-hard fan or just there for the experience. One of the coolest features is the iconic train in left field--it's a fun touch that gives the stadium its own personality. Amenities are solid across the board. There's a massive jumbotron, plenty of food options (the brisket nachos are a must-try), and the facilities are well-maintained and clean. Parking can be a bit tricky and pricey right near the stadium, so it's worth parking a few blocks away to save some money and enjoy a short walk in. The only downside is the cost of food and drinks - they're definitely on the expensive side and concession lines can get long during peak times. Overall: A fantastic ballpark with great comfort and unique features. Just plan ahead for parking and be ready to spend a little extra on snacks!
