NRG Stadium, NFL stadium in Houston, United States.
NRG Stadium is a stadium in Houston, Texas, serving as home to the Houston Texans and featuring a retractable roof that opens in favorable weather. The facility includes multiple levels with luxury suites, wide spectator stands and a playing surface that adapts for different event formats when needed.
The stadium opened in 2002 as Reliant Stadium and was the first NFL football facility with a retractable roof. The building was constructed for the arrival of the Houston Texans, after the city's previous team returned to the league.
The building hosts the annual Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, where thousands of visitors gather for agricultural exhibitions and western entertainment. Locals also use the facility for concerts, church services and large gatherings that bring the entire city together.
The facility offers thousands of parking spots around the grounds and connects to public transport, with clear signs guiding visitors to multiple entrance areas. Gates open several hours before events depending on the occasion, allowing arrivals time to orient themselves and find their seats.
The playing surface can be reconfigured for trade shows, conventions and religious gatherings, with the turf removed and a flat floor installed for other uses. This adaptation allows the hall to shift between sports and other large events within a few days.
