Crowd at Bears game

[valleytexfan]

In the clips I've seen it appears it wasn't a packed house at Reliant on Saturday. Was it because of preseason or is the popularity dwindling? I hope it's not the latter. I'd hate to think people gave up on the Texans. Thoughts guys/gals?

It's most likely just the fact that it's the preseason. In all the games I've watched so far, I haven't seen any stadium even close to filling all of its seats.

The Cowboys game will be packed, though.

I was at the game and again the dumb#ss home fans wouldn't shut the hell up (on snaps after a exciting previous play) when the offense was on the field.

I couldn't remember if it was Schaub or Sage, (too much beer at the tailgate), but the QB was even waiving his hands down to try to tell the crowd to shut the hell up.

For as much as the fans in this city bash the team, I really wish the football IQ of the fans would rise a little. Houston has some of the stupidest fans in the country.

I totally agree with you that fans need to learn when to shut the hell up, BUT, I do want to point out that the Bears fans made a hell of a lot of noise when our offense was on the field. I'm not saying it was ALL them, but, I definitely noticed how loud they were. I sit in the Bullpen about halfway up in section 116. I was SURROUNDED by Bears fans that stood up most of the game, and made their presence known. I also noticed huge groups of Bears fans on the visitors side that knew what to do, when! I'm NOT saying it was all their fault either, but, they certainly added to the noise level at times. Add in ignorant TEXAN fans, and it was enough to be disruptive.

whut he said....

There was a decent crowd. By no means were every seat filled, but I'd say 85%+?

And yes, the crowd was cheering when we were on offense WAY too loud at a few poiints

It's a problem, no doubt. But to be fair, there were a lot of Bear fans in the endzone area. And they were a noisy bunch.

It was very well attended for a preseason game. It started to clear out in the 4th quarter but all levels were pretty full at peak. The Club level (300 sidelines) is never full and those red seats are more noticeable when empty. Maybe that's what you saw.
