A new study found that Texas was home to four out of 10 of the stadiums in the US with the worst food quality. Claiming the worst spot was the historic Cotton Bowl in Dallas, home to the annual Red River Rivalry game between the Texas Longhorns and Oklahoma Sooners.
The study analyzed Google reviews for nearly 200 stadiums in the US and examined how frequently visitors mentioned the food quality and whether or not those reviews were positive or negative. The Cotton Bowl came in with a stagger...

Here in the middle of the year 2026, I think it's safe to say that the "secret" is out on the friendly Texas Hill Country village to our north, known as Fredericksburg. No longer a "hidden gem," Fredericksburg is beset upon these days by antique hunters, peach pickers, wine aficionados, bachelorette parties and motorcycle clubs each weekend numbering in the thousands.
Having made regular pilgrimages in search of World War II history and Eastern European cuisine for decades now, I was firmly c...

While they are currently surging in the NBA Playoffs, the New York Knicks were recently crowned as the most expensive professional team to support in all of sports. A study from Foresight Sports found that major sports ticket prices have risen over 25% in the past three years.
This factored into their determination that the NBA’s Knicks cost their fans the most – over $4,000 annually – to support each season. Foresight’s research examined the yearly expenses that fans can incur over the cost ...

The Houston Gamblers ride again! For the third time in history, the Gamblers live to call H-Town their home. The first version of the squad was a member of the original USFL, which folded in 1985. The squad won their division in 1984 and made the playoffs in 1984 and 1985 with a roster that was bolstered by future Pro Football Hall of Famer Jim Kelly.
After its spectac...

Facing the prospect of needing a winner-take-all rubber game, the hitters in the heart of the lineup for Smithson Valley had other ideas.

Trailing by a run with one out left in the sixth, Ava Capek and Pieper Moeller smashed back-to-back home runs to power the Rangers to a 4-2 victory over South San on Saturday at the Alamo Heights ISD Sports Complex.

The wind was gusting in from center field, but it didn’t dampen Southwest’s offense.
The Dragons played small ball and took advantage of several Brackenridge errors as they took flight for a 10-1 victory Friday night to sweep their best-of-3 Class 5A Division I first-round playoff series at Dragon Field.
After taking the opener 4-3 on Wednesday, Southwest relied on starting pitcher Matthew Reyna to close out the series. The senior tossed a gem, giving up one run with three strikeouts over fiv...

Just in time for the impending 2026-27 season, the Houston Texans will play their home games at a place with a very familiar name. The Harris County Sports & Convention Corporation recently approved changing the name back to Reliant Stadium, and the area around the venue back to Reliant Park.
The current naming rights’ owner, NRG Energy, said they came to the decision following input from the fan base and community at large. A recent survey of the energy provider’s customers found that 90% of...

What if I told you there was a Hill Country town that could almost match Fredericksburg charm for charm and was far, far less crowded? For your visiting pleasure, I give you Mason.

For the second time in a week, Warren downed district rival Brennan with a 3-2 win Thursday at Northside Baseball Field #3.
The win closed out the regular season for Warren, who leaned timely hitting and a stellar game by starting pitcher Ashton Garza to secure the win and lock up second place in District 28-6A.
After the loss, the Bears held a tenuous grasp on third place in the district while they awaited the outcomes of O’Connor’s game against Taft and Stevens’ game against Marshall, as bo...

In a city like San Antonio, one that's world-renowned for its culinary scene, you’ve got restaurants, which can be great on their own, and you’ve got institutions. These are places that have stood the test of time and remain strong.
Since opening up in 1956, by Raymond "Ray" Lopez, Ray's Drive Inn has served generations upon generations of San Antonians from its landmark location on the city's historic Westside. Ray’s house specialties are two hyper-local classic dishes unique to the Alamo Ci...

The race for the District 26-5A softball crown came down to the final innings as Smithson Valley turned a pitchers’ duel into a rout and a championship.

SAN ANTONIO - Arguably no other event perfectly encapsulates our community quite like Fiesta. The event unites San Antonio the way few others can – capturing our culture, our cuisine, our energy and our shared history.
Last year, for the first time, the San Antonio Area Foundation partnered with a local artist to design a unique Fiesta medal to help illustrate the connection between our work and our community. This year, the Area Foundation teamed up with local artist Ernesto Cuevas, Jr. for ...
