The design looks pretty ingenious. I didn't think the place was wide enough to hold a track. Given the heat/humidity in summer and the lack of zoning, I can't see Houston being an ideal OG venue, but who knows? At least it would appear to be a viable candidate to host the Worlds. Isn't that good enough? And I guess it could host speedskating in the winter (although I imagine Houston doesn't have much of one). And soccer. Oh...Astroturf came about because they couldn't grow grass there. So is there a plan for that, too? Perhaps a removable field like in the new Sapporo Dome?
