HOUSTON – Today, Ryan Walsh, CEO of the Harris County – Houston Sports Authority, moderated the Houston Business Journal’s inaugural Business of Sports panel alongside key voices from the Texans, Rockets, Astros, Dynamo-Dash, and Rodeo to talk about the power of sports in shaping Houston’s future. 

This all-star panel, including Chris Boleman, Giles Kibbe, Jessica O’Neill, Gretchen Sheirr, and Mike Tomon, offered powerful perspectives on how strategic investment in our sports venues will reshape not only Houston’s sports landscape but also influence the broader cultural and economic future of the city and beyond.  

The city’s sports leaders are committed to collaborating, sharing ideas, and supporting one another. At the heart of their vision is the region’s unique culture and diversity, which is the driving force behind how they engage with fans, shape experiences, and build lasting community impact. 

This is a powerful reminder: it’s about the people, the purpose, and the shared goal of using sports to bring Houston and Harris County together.
