Opening heading

"In early 2003, the Houston Metro area lost the bid for a Toyota manufacturing facility in response to the poor air quality in the region; San Antonio won the bid for a manufacturing facility. In return for Houston's loss in job creation, as if it was even reconcilable, Toyota decided to buy the naming rights for the downtown sports arena, believing that stuffing the pockets of local millionaires would make up for the loss of hundrends of decent-paying jobs in the metro Houston area."

Um, I thought we were supposed to have a NEUTRAL POINT OF VIEW for god's sake!

The air quality issue where San Antonio ended up with a truck plant was mentioned by several candidates running for the Houston City Council in 2003.

List of Events

Is every event that takes place at the Toyota Center going to be listed in this article? This seems unnecessary and not the least bit encyclopedic. --AntarcticFox (talk) 15:49, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

:I'm inclined to agree with you, unless its an event that is of particularly notable in someway that could be referenced/stated in that performers/event article. Like for example, the injury of that Mexican singer at the toyota center (the name escapes me), The Latin Grammy's, or something along those lines. I originally came on to talk about this very subject and pondered that when the grammy's come whether or not it should have its own section within the article. --Hourick (talk) 16:57, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Deletion of Events

Unless I hear from anyone else, I'm going to start deleting the non-notable events that are listed. Unless it is notable historically/newsworthy or the event has its own article like, Latin Grammy Awards of 2008, then it shouldn't be this article. --Hourick (talk) 17:13, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

The 2009 WWE HAll OF HAME will be held here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.14.23.45 (talk) 02:11, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
