HOUSTON -- Texas Southern University Athletics Director Charles McClelland believes his school has taken "significant" steps this week toward becoming a part of the project to build a downtown soccer stadium for the Houston Dynamo.

TSU's interest is a new home for its athletics department, specifically football. To that end McClelland told FOX 26 Sports he met Thursday with Dynamo team President Oliver Luck. This session comes after McClelland met Monday with the city's lead negotiator on the project, Andy Icken, Deputy Director of Public works for the City of Houston.

"Charles and I had a productive meeting and he clearly sees the vision for returning to TSU football to a position of prominence in the SWAC and that involves using the proposed new stadium for its home games," Luck said in an interview with FOX 26.
