Last week Hurricane Harvey hit Houston hard and displaced thousands of people. It was a devastating disaster but while it may have damaged the city, it didn’t damage the spirit of Houston sports fans.

We love new stadiums. They can be great for teams, fans, and the communities in which they reside. It’s that third item that is the most important. Professional sports teams are a great source of local pride and their community involvement has become both a privilege and expectation for teams in every city and league. Shouldn’t the palaces they play in be held to the same standard?
