A football pipe dream.

Reliant to bid for title game of new college football playoff, Joseph Duarte, Chron.com
The city of Houston and Reliant Stadium plan to make a push to host college football's new football championship game, the head of the Harris County-Houston Sports Authority said Tuesday night.
"We decided we want to aggressively pursue this opportunity for Houston," said Janis Schmees, the executive director of the Harris County-Houston Sports Authority. "We want the decision-makers to know Houston is serious about hosting."

Of course they do. And hopefully we can pack thousands hundreds of people onto the toy train and run them up and down 7 miles of line, (maybe even re-opening some of the downtown dance clubs that closed!!) to play a game in a middling stadium, in an isolated part of town with few amenities, possessing a sub-par turf that's typically brown, patchy and slippery.

Or, they could play in larger stadiums with better amenities in either Dallas of Phoenix.

What do you think the answer is going to be?
