The construction of the Houston Football Stadium is currently estimated to cost approximately $105 million pending final Board of Regents approval and bid package pricing. |

Not a fan of the dumb parking lot along Cullen. Could they not have made a more nicer pedestrian entrance from those walking across Cullen? I guess it’s an improvement from Robertson where the stadium was set back so far away from the street. UH really needs better streetscaping and parking lots smack dab in the way don’t really help when they could find another spot for people to park.

It’s not mentioned any specific green/LEED features of this building, though I totally think UH should rival UNT in this regard.
