For the Sports Fans
Houston's professional teams and players are not the only reason sports fans are flocking to the games. Houston offers three of the most state-of-the-art stadiums in the world -- Minute Maid Park, home of the Houston Astros; Reliant Stadium, home of the Houston Texans and the annual Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo; and the Toyota Center arena, home of the Houston Rockets and Aeros. All stadiums are linked by METRORail. Houston's professional soccer team, the Houston Dynamo, plays its home matches at Robertson Stadium, located on the campus of the University of Houston, but will soon have a downtown arena of its own.
Houston's moderate climate encourages year-round recreation. Gulf beaches, a boardwalk, lakes, 165 public and private golf courses, countless swimming pools and tennis courts and hundreds of parks make getting out and about a pleasure. Houston has recorded just 14 snow days since 1939. The normal maximum temperature in January is about 62 degrees, and the normal maximum temperature in July is 94 degrees.
