Full detailAbout Reliant Stadium
Reliant Stadium (long known as NRG Stadium) seats 72,220 for Texans games across four general tiers plus suites and premium clubs, under the first retractable fabric roof in the NFL. The lower 100 level wraps the field with premium sideline sections at midfield, the 300 level carries the club and mezzanine ring, and the 500 and 600 levels form the upper deck. The best sideline seats are the lower-bowl 50-yard-line sections 124 to 128. The roof is usually closed in Houston's heat, keeping crowd noise in and the interior climate-controlled. Beyond the Texans it hosts the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, the Texas Bowl, and hosted 2026 FIFA World Cup matches.
A retractable fabric-roof stadium on the NRG Park campus, the first NFL stadium built with a fully retractable roof. The translucent roof opens or closes in about seven minutes and, with large glazed end walls, lets in natural light. Inside is a symmetrical bowl over four general seating levels plus club and suite tiers.

Hotels near Reliant Stadium
All hotels & live pricesGetting there
Transport
A south Houston campus at Kirby Drive and Loop 610, about ten minutes from downtown. Extensive on-site NRG Park lots plus surrounding private lots serve the venue, and the METRORail Red Line stops at Stadium Park/Astrodome station adjacent to the campus, the practical no-parking option. Rodeo and event days draw larger crowds than Texans games.
The area
Not a walkable district. The stadium sits within the NRG Park sports and exhibition campus, alongside NRG Arena and the former Astrodome, surrounded by parking and freeways; the nearest bars and restaurants are a short drive toward the Medical Center or Midtown.
