Dynamo and Astros could be neighbors
KTRK-13's Miya Shay reports the Dynamo are looking at property east of Minute Maid park, currently used for Astros parking:
Officially, the Dynamo say they are still looking at building a new stadium either in Sugar Land or Houston. But I've learned there's been a strong push by city and sports leaders in town to keep the team in Houston. And while the final decision is still weeks away, there's been lots of scouting for a potential location.

Luck would not go into specifics, but multiple sources say the Dynamo is seriously considering a stretch of parking lot located just east of Minute Maid Park. Owned by the Houston Sports Authority, the large surface parking lot is under a 30-year lease by the Astros. But Pam Gardner says the team's willing to share.

The city says it's been in some intense discussions with the Dynamo. You can expect an announcement of whether the team will stay in Houston or go to the suburbs within six to eight weeks.
Which means the only question left is how much will this cost taxpayers?
