Year-round, the weather lends itself to sports, and Houstonians take advantage of it. Sports fans are right at home with Houston's professional teams.
Amateur sports are popular too, with a full slate of leagues.
Many sports programs start at the elementary level and run through college. In women's basketball we have the Houston Comets, four-time WNBA champions. In baseball we have the Houston Astros, now housed at Enron Field. In hockey we have the Houston Aeros. Houston's NFL expansion team, the Houston Texans, will hold their first game in August 2002 in the new Reliant Stadium.
