In 2016, he was selected as the first-ever Houston Business Journal’s Business Person of the Year after serving as chairman of the Greater Houston Partnership.

Rootes helped lead the construction of Crew Stadium in 1999, which was the first stadium of its type in the United States. This facility earned distinction as America’s Foremost Sports Facility of the Year and led to the development of numerous soccer-specific across the United States over the past decade, including BBVA Compass Stadium in Houston.
