About Houston

NRG Stadium was the first NFL venue with a retractable roof. Its location beside the NRG Park complex provides extensive match-day fan-zone space. Houston is one of the most linguistically diverse U.S. cities — expect multilingual signage.

Getting to the stadium

METRORail’s Red Line stops at Stadium/Fannin South, a 7-minute walk. From downtown it’s ~20 minutes.

Local tip

💡 The adjacent Houston Zoo and Hermann Park are open before matches — a good family-friendly pre-game plan.
