The city of Houston will receive a new rugby stadium.
This new stadium will be excellent for sports in Houston. The
stadium will be a 3,500-seat stadium and will host the Houston Sabercats in Major
League Rugby. The project will be built at the Houston Amateur Sports Park on
Texas 288 in south Houston. The Sabercats will begin playing at the stadium
during the 2019 season. The city will retain ownership of the site and lease it
to the Sabercats for 43 years. The city will use $32 Million from its 2012 bond
package to reimburse the team for the cost of building a 760-space parking lot
and public utilities. As part of the deal, the Sabercats will provide at least
200 hours of children’s rugby training annually along with hosting high school
rugby matches and free rugby camps for children aged 6 through 14. Houston
continues to grow as a sports powerhouse.
