It was great. Thanks for asking. It was a 24-hour trip. The game was fun. I didn’t like the outcome but, the stadium is very nice. Sat right behind the goal, off to the side a bit, after starting a conversation with a Houston season ticket holder and he told me to stay and sit in one of his seats.
It was a physical game, really evident from our first-row seats. Mikey played very well.
The St. Louis offense was terrible with the ball. Their average time per possession had to be 15 seconds or fewer. Houston had a lot to do with that so I am not making any excuse. Houston deserved to win.
the Marriott Marquis was very nice & convenient. Lunch at Pappasito’s was great, made even better after a call to a friend who has been in Houston for over 20 years.
I had not been to Houston since 1997 when Pitt played at the Cougars. Also the last time I had Pappasito’s. We are thinking of coming back for the regular season game of St Louis @ Houston if our schedule allows.
Edit: Southwest was even on time for both flights today. The funniest part of the day was when my flight from Houston to Chicago Midway flew right over Mikey’s St. Louis apartment
