HOUSTON (May 22, 2008) - The Houston Comets today announce a sellout of 7,261 tickets in the team's new home, Reliant Arena, for the home opener on May 27 at 7:30 p.m. against the Minnesota Lynx.
The Houston Comets' May 27 home opener is "First Fan Night" and promises to be one of the most exciting games of the season. Special events for that night include an unveiling of the team's four WNBA Championship banners in addition to the retired jerseys of two-time WNBA Most Valuable Player Cynthia Cooper and Kim Perrot, whose jersey is the first-ever retired by the league. WNBA President Donna Orender is scheduled to attend the game and, during a halftime presentation, honor the first fans to enter the arena that night.
Single game tickets are quickly selling for the June 3 "Sea of Red - Health and Fitness Night," which is the first of a three-game series against the San Antonio Silver Stars. June 14 is "Dads and Daughters Night" and features the return of former Houston Comets player and WNBA All-Star Sheryl Swoopes and the Seattle Storm. Both games have a 7:30 p.m. tip-off.
In December 2007, the Houston Comets announced the team would play in Reliant Arena beginning with the 2008 WNBA season.
