Texans Players' Houses Damaged; Owner Bob McNair Optimistic About Reliant Stadium

Reliant Stadium is one of many buildings in the Houston-Galveston area that received damaged from Hurricane Ike. This HoustonTexans.com video above shows some of the damage and interviews with the players about going through the storm.

Eric Berger from the Houston Chronicle states that because of the odd configuration of Ike, forecasters believe Reliant received Category 4 strength winds because of the height of the roof. The higher the building, the more significant the winds.

According to John McClain of the Houston Chronicle, Texans owner Bob McNair is optimistic that they will have the stadium ready for the Texans-Colts game on October 5. If not, they may end up using the nearby Rice University stadium as an alternative.

According to today's presser, Coach Gary Kubiak says that a number of players are living in hotels because of damage to their homes. DT Travis Johnson isn't sure his house is even salvageable because of damage to his roof. TE Owen Daniels has roof damage as well.
