The Best Things in Texas 2023: The Best NBA Coach Ever
By some estimates, the Big 12’s snub of UH in 1995 cost the school as much as half a billion dollars in TV-rights money. But the setback left UH officials determined to get back into a Power Five conference, and they spent big over the years to get the Big 12’s attention. After Texas and OU announced they’d be leaving for the SEC, UH’s invitation finally arrived.
After that, the Cougars start the home schedule with Kansas and Rice, which should be two wins over teams over inferior rosters. The Cougars released their 2012 football schedule Friday with seven home games and eight within the city. In addition to football coach Dana Holgorsen’s new deal, basketball coach Kelvin Sampson is making more than $3 million a season and is signed through 2027. UT and A&M will draw around 100,000 fans for every football home game. Meanwhile, UH seems forever stuck in the 25,000 range, which is what the school has averaged in the two most recent non-pandemic-interrupted seasons . Houston hasn’t hit 30,000 in attendance for a home game since 2018 and hasn’t gotten to 40,000 since 2016.

Houston will receive additional revenue when it joins the Big 12 next summer. Problem is, with Texas and Oklahoma planning to leave the conference no later than 2025 and probably earlier, the Big 12’s television-rights revenues are expected to fall off a cliff. Of the three that did—Texas Tech ($189,438), Kansas ($3.86 million), and West Virginia ($8.98 million)—all received far less than Houston.
Animals are not permitted inside TDECU Stadium with the exception of service animals trained to work or perform tasks for guests with disabilities. The University of Houston and The Department of Athletics works hard to promote responsible consumption of alcoholic beverages. However, beer, wine and liquor are sold at select concession stands and portable stands throughout the concourse.

This shuttle will drop off and pick up on Holman Street by the Stadium Garage. Once a guest exits TDECU Stadium, they will not be allowed back in for the remainder of the event. The Metro Rail Purple Line conveniently stops just outside Gate 3 on the west end of TDECU Stadium. Houston fans can enjoy the ease of travel on the Purple Line which begins downtown and travels southeast along Capitol and Rusk, down Scott St. to the Palm Center near MLK and Griggs.
To provide the best fan experience to every Houston fan, closed captioning is provided in both the southeast and southwest corners of TDECU Stadium. An exception will be made for medically necessary items after proper inspection at the gate by TDECU Stadium personnel. Event related signs, flags, banners, and posters are welcome inside the facility to show fan support during events. "With the renovation of Hofheinz Pavilion, Hunter and I had an opportunity to sit down as part of that package, we're talking about this game and I think it will be great for both our fan bases," McClelland said. "I know one thing, it will be sold out. If it gets done, you'd better get your ticket early." The season opener is Sept. 1 at Rice, while the home opener is the following week against Arizona and former UH coach Kevin Sumlin.
Perhaps the single smartest move UH made was luring Sampson away from the Houston Rockets in 2014 to coach the men’s basketball team. He’s a master program-builder and proven winner, and best of all, he has fallen in love with Houston. Sampson had the force of personality—and the results—to shake donors from a decades-long stupor and persuade them to pony up for what would be a sea change for the school. He showed everyone connected with UH that the Cougars could still be relevant. On the other hand, fan interest should grow once UH is back in the same conference as historically familiar opponents such as Texas Tech, Baylor, and TCU.
There is a kiosk stand located inside of the Cougar Club, along with the large Team Shop tent located in the northwest corner of the stadium behind section 127.

During pre-game activities, while there are no age restrictions for field access, all properly credentialed persons need to remain aware of their fast-paced surroundings. From the start of the contest forward, only properly credentialed children ages 13 and older are permitted to be on the sidelines.
