The Compaq Center Is Born Again: Lakewood Church Set to Own Rockets' Old Home, a 2010 CultureMap Houston report, covers Lakewood Church's purchase of the former Compaq Center arena. Its strength is that it is contemporary local news journalism reporting directly on the transaction as it happened. Its limit is that it is local news coverage rather than an institutional or scholarly source, so a claim about the deal's exact terms is best cross-checked against Lakewood Church's own statements or public records.
