Sometime in 2012, the Houston Dynamo will play in a soccer-specific stadium on the eastern outskirts of downtown.
Make no mistake about it: the Dynamo will pay for the privilege of calling a new facility home. In the world of public-private partnerships, this deal veers toward the public good rather than the private gain. While the city of Houston and Harris County will chip in $17.5 million each in infrastructure improvements and land purchases without touching current taxpayer dollars, those significant investments pale in comparison to the Dynamo's $60 million tab to construct its new home without securing ownership of it.
