THE BATTALION
Houston to host its first Super Bowl since
l
HOUSTON (AP) The 2004 Super Bowl
will give Houston the chance to show itself off
to the world with typical Texas flair while gen
erating $350 million for the nation’s fourth
largest city, officials and business owners said.
NFL owners voted Wednesday to award the
2004 game to Houston.
The game will be played at Reliant Stadium,
the home of the NFL’s newest franchise, the
Houston Texans. The team is scheduled to be
gin playing in the 2002 season.
“It is really a win for a championship city,”
said Mayor Lee Brown.
Although the game is anticipated to bring in
about $350 million in revenues, Texans owner
Bob McNair said a price tag ca not be placed on
the exposure the city will get.
“In terms of image building, you can't put a
dollar figure on that,” McNair said. “The inter
national exposure for the city will really extend
our reach and the vision of people will be in
delibly impacted. We're going to create an im
pression worldwide. There are a lot of smiles
around here.”
Houston’s recent publicity has been mostly
about its polluted skies, as last year it edged out

Los Angeles as the nation’s smog capital. This
year the cities are running neck and neck for the
unwanted title.
Houston is also home to NASA's Lyndon B.
Johnson Space Center and a wealth of energy
and oil companies.
McNair said the retractable roof stadium was
a draw to the owners.
“That in itself will be an experience and a
first for the Super Bowl,” he said. “I think
they're real proud of the stadium. When all the
owners get to see it and play in it. they are go
ing to come away saying, ‘Wow.’ We plan to
show the league, the member clubs, the media
and the fans that Houston is a perfect site for the
Super Bowl.”

singles showing at the ITA All-
American.
A&M’s highest seeded singles
are No.' 11 Nedorostova, No. 12
Roland, No. 13 Hedberg and No. 17
Leah Killen.
Kleinecke said any of the A&M
women can come into the tourna
ment and surprise everyone, but he
said the team is mainly trying to re
gain its confidence in singles com
petition.
“Single-wise, I will have to wait
until after this tournament (to de
termine where we stand), because
we still have a bad taste in our
mouths from the ITA All-Ameri
can,” Kleinecke said.
The top-seeded singles player in
the Southwest Regional is Jahnovi
Parekh from Baylor, followed by
Chin Bee Khoo from Arkansas and
Anna Monhartova of Tulane. Bay
lor has three of the Top 10 single
seeds in the tournament.
Kleinecke said he expects the
team to have a solid showing and
possibly come away with some
upsets. He said his team’s goal is
to get at least one doubles team
into the National Invitational In
door tournament.
Ashley Backus, Roberta
Spencer and Eva Marcial will also
compete as singles in the Southwest
Regional. Spencer and Backus will
also competing as a doubles team as
will Marcial and Killen. Terburgh
will also compete individually.
Marcial, one of only two seniors
on the team, said she thought the
Southwest Regional would be a
good test for the young A&JVI team
because it will play matches against
quality opponents each day.
“It’s a good gauge for the spring,”
Marcial said. “It will be a tool for us
to see how we’re playing.”
The tournament will be held Fri
day through Monday at the Varsity
Tennis Center and the Omar Smith
Tennis Center. It is the last compe
tition that A&M will see until the
spring.
