The USA Men’s Gymnastics Championships is hosted this year at the Reliant complex in Houston, Texas.

Everything is BIG in Texas. The Reliant Astrodome holds 67,925 people though it is mostly disused these days.

Recall this is where evacuees from Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans were transported.

On Labor Day, 2005, eighty-two-year-old Barbara Bush said of Hurricane Katrina evacuees staying in the Astrodome, “What I’m hearing, which is a little scary, is that all of these people want to stay in Texas! Everyone is so overwhelmed by the hospitality. And most of the people in this arena are underprivileged anyway, so this is working very well for them.”

Actually, the other buildings in the Reliant complex are very busy right now. The economy is booming in Texas.

It’s a good site for the gymnastics meet.
