Texans are struggling to sell season tickets

Jerome Solomon of the Houston Chronicle writes that, in a matter of weeks, he has gone from 12,734 on the season-ticket waiting list to eligible to buy season tickets. Solomon passed.

“Hell would freeze over before I’d spend a nickel on Texans tickets this year,” Solomon explains. But he doesn’t blame the current players, the team, or Deshaun Watson‘s legal issues for the predicament.



I'm proud of the fans on this.
Don't spend your hard in money on crappy owners and management.


Texans could be the first 0-17 team in History.

I have never seen a fan base more disconnected. No Texas gear, o one talking about the. Good or bad. Since the drama with Watson they just don’t care either way. Could change by September but I do t see it.
I would rather watch the Giants

from the comfort of my home. Had the season pass/ticket for a few decades years ago. With the traffic and incessant music/blaring virtually every play, you couldn’t give me a ticket for free..Tailgates rock, though.
Houston 's bigger problem

isn't Watson, though that has been bad, it is the BS around ownership and Jack Easterby. A guy who clearly isn't qualified and yet has the owner's ear and many believe he has been the major force behind players leaving and the whole coaching search debacle.

The fact that the Texans paid multiple $100's of thousands for a consulting firm to provide the best selection of coaching candidates and then ignore those recommendations and higher someone completely off the HC coaching radar, screams incompetence.

Add to the fact the Texans seem like a team ripe for the tank but yet they go and sign a bunch of over the hill guys and guys that make little sense for the situation they are in and this whole disaster actually looks like an idiot trying to win, with zero idea on how.

The Texans have to be praying Watson gets cleared of the allegations so they can trade him as he is not playing for them again.
My buddy is from area and ownership/Easterby have pretty much

killed their fan base. It will be interesting how the NFL handles a team that struggles with attendance as much as they will for the foreseeable future. Easterby and Cal are neighbors and butt buddies, doubt he is going anywhere soon.
If there is a team that is destined to go 0-17 in 2021.......

I hope it is the Bears and not the Texans. LOL.

Having said that....Yes....I agree. I loved the old Giants Stadium because no matter where you sat, you pretty much on top of the action.

The new stadium leaves me a little cold.

My buddies and I have our hangout that caters to us with BBQ and tailgate fare all in the comfort of the place with tons of TV's. A much better experience and I don't have to drive two hours each way.
This is so true:

Couple that with the new stadium having worse sight lines and crowd bottlenecks.

The Texans are..

going to be bad, but 0-17 bad?? Highly unlikely. They have a better roster than the Jags or Jets last year. Even if Watson doesn't play, they'll get a win.
My wife has season tickets

Bought way before me...she’s going to take a bath this year.

She did really well selling them up until two years ago.

Off topic, but I hate their team name. I wish it could be the Houston Oilers again. That's a great name for that city.

Not a chance in this day and age a team would be named the Oilers. Lol. I 100 % agree with you but the green movement would literally stroke out.
What about this old Houston team name?
