    The ratings come from fans:

    Rockets are ranked #53
    Astros are #71
    Texans are unranked due to the fact that they have not been in existance for more than 3 years. However, looking at thier other ratings they would be pretty high on the list.

    Spurs and Mavericks are 1 and 2

    i just read through these...some of them are quite laughable, frankly.

    the texans ranked highly in every category they were able to compete in. 6th best game experience in all of sports...8th best in fan relations...8th best in ownership.

    a friend of mine and I were talking about these kinds of "surveys" the other day. ultimately, these are done by sports fans with their own bias...i mean, i freaking love minute maid park...and i can't be objective about that, because the appeal is that my beloved astros play there. i used to feel that way about the dome, as well. we all have that sort of bias and others that cloud the idea that any of this is remotely objective...Fenway Park is a dump...but don't tell that to a Red Sox fan!! curiously, the Red Sox rank out as the 95th best franchise in all of sports. behind the LA Clippers....that just doesn't sound right!

    interesting. The Texans sure do have a great franchise. They have a number of exciting games through out the season.

    I love MMP also. When I heard they were going to move to another ball park I was kind of sad at first. I loved the Astro Dome, a wonder of the world. But from day one, the minute I stepped into Minute Maid Park I fell in love with it. The place is unbelievable.
