What it's known for

NRG Stadium was the first NFL venue with a retractable roof, built to deal with Houston’s heat, humidity and storms. It sits beside the Astrodome, the 1965 ‘Eighth Wonder of the World’, which is still standing next door.

The stadium also hosts the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo every year and has hosted multiple Super Bowls.

Getting there

NRG Park is south of downtown Houston. The METRORail Red Line runs to the stadium area, and there are large parking lots for fans who drive and tailgate.

Tips for your visit

  • Take a look at the Astrodome next door.
  • The roof and air conditioning keep you comfortable even in a Houston September.
  • The METRORail avoids the worst of the postgame traffic.
