Do not fill this in! ==Fate== By the 1970s, the arena was starting to show its age. Its fate was effectively sealed in 1971, when the [[National Basketball Association|NBA]]'s [[San Diego Rockets]] moved to Houston and insisted on building a new arena—what became the [[Lakewood Church Central Campus|Summit]]—as a replacement. When the Rockets arrived, they would not even consider playing in the Coliseum while the Summit was being built, deeming it inadequate even for temporary use; instead, they played their first few seasons at [[Hofheinz Pavilion]]. Sam Houston Coliseum was demolished in 1998.<ref name=Info/> The former site of the Sam Houston Coliseum was redeveloped into the [[Hobby Center for the Performing Arts]], which opened in 2003.
