I have been a computer programmer for just about 10 years now, and decided that it would be far easier to point and click with a mouse than to frantically search and cue up CD's during an event. Instead of trying to use multiple CD Players and a mixer, I decided to write my own application to play the music. I heard about the team needing someone to do sound and volunteered to do it for them. The Compaq Center had always supplied the music and entertainment for the Hotshots, but when the team moved to the new arena they were in need of somebody to provide the music and soundclips. Stadium DJ was first designed in 1998 when the CISL Houston Hotshots moved from the Summit (now the Compaq Center) to the Astroarena for their home games.
