Would you want to march at a Texans game?
Although not as bad a public relations blunder as last year's decision to roast their fans during their first home game, the Texans were not particularly hospitable to the high school band that performed at this past Sunday's opening game of the 2006 season. In addition to being subjected to NFL-mandated pat downs before entering the stadium, Houston-based public relations expert John Wagner reports that the band members were not even allowed to watch one play of the game!
Of course, based on the way the game went after the Texans' first drive, the kids didn't miss much as a result of the Texans' lack of hospitality.

It's a soldout game. Where would they sit?
Actually, being on the field at Reliant on game day is a pretty cool experience in and of itself, but I would have thought that the students would have been told that there would be no place to watch the game.

Stephanie, do you really think that it would have been that difficult for the Texans to arrange temporary seating for a couple of hundred band members? The Texans arranged temporary seating at Reliant for several thousand for the Super Bowl.

The MOB did halftime for an Oilers Monday Night Football game at the Dome back in (I think) 1991. We were there for the whole game, but I don't remember if our seats were in the real stands or in temporary seating. The Oilers did have problems selling out back in the day, so we may have had real tickets.
