#GOHEELS

HOUSTON, WE HAVE LIFT-OFF!Houston is a sprawling metropolis in Texas and the fourth largest city in the United States, with a mix of cultures that has made the city a celebrated destination for world-class cuisine and entertainment. Combine that with a strong theater scene, world-class museums and the popular NASA Space Center Houston and you’ve got a city that has struck the perfect balance between big city attractions and small town ideals.

The city is made up of diverse residential neighborhoods and enclaves of restaurants and shops far and wide. Downtown Houston is easy to navigate and bustling with events year-round; the Museum District is the city’s cultural center; upscale shopping and cuisine can be found in Upper Kirby and River Oaks; Montrose is known for its quirky shops and cafes; Washington Ave is nightlife central and the Heights has historic homes and stunning architecture.

Add to that Houston’s four stadiums all being less than 15 years old, some of the newest expansion teams in the NFL and MLS and success in hosting the 2011 NCAA Men’s Final Four and it’s clear to see how Houston has repositioned itself as a cultural and athletics destination!
