Friedkin, already a sports mogul behind AS Roma and Everton, previously tried (and failed) to buy the Rockets in 2017. While his low-key personality keeps him out of the spotlight, his move could reshape Houston’s entertainment scene — sparking arena competition and filling a major gap since the Aeros left in 2011. With a passionate fanbase and massive market size, Houston may have the edge over Austin — and fans are already ready to show up for a winner.
