About NRG Stadium

NRG Stadium is a multi-purpose stadium in Houston, Texas. It was constructed at a cost of $352 million and was the first NFL facility to have a retractable roof. It is the home of the Houston Texans of the National Football League (NFL) and the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo.

The stadium has a seating capacity of 72,220. The retractable roof consists of two massive panels that split at the 50-yard line, allowing the stadium to be open-air or climate-controlled (A/C is essential in Houston heat). The translucent fabric roof lets in natural light even when closed.

NRG Stadium has hosted two Super Bowls (XXXVIII and LI). The venue is part of a massive complex including the Astrodome. Its design set the trend for the modern generation of retractable-roof stadiums in the NFL, prioritizing fan comfort without sacrificing the outdoor feel when weather permits.

🛰️ Satellite Identification Tips

At zoom 16, NRG Stadium is a massive domed structure in the NRG Park complex, south of downtown Houston. The retractable roof is the stadium's defining satellite feature — when open, it reveals the playing surface; when closed, it shows a smooth, light-coloured dome. The adjacent NRG Astrodome (the historic 'Eighth Wonder of the World') sits immediately to the north — the old and new stadiums side by side create a distinctive pair. The NRG Arena and extensive parking infrastructure fill the surrounding complex. Loop 610 runs nearby.

🌍 Did You Know?

NRG Stadium sits directly next to the Astrodome, the world's first multi-purpose domed sports stadium (1965) — the 'Eighth Wonder of the World' has been vacant since 2008 and is now a designated state landmark, but plans for its renovation or demolition have been debated for over 15 years.
The stadium was the first retractable-roof NFL venue in the United States — the roof consists of two movable panels that take approximately 7 minutes to open or close, though it is rarely opened during football season due to Houston's extreme heat and humidity.
NRG Stadium has hosted three Super Bowls (XXXVIII in 2004, LI in 2017, and LIX in 2025) — Super Bowl LI featured the most famous comeback in NFL history, with the Patriots overcoming a 28-3 deficit to beat the Falcons 34-28 in overtime.
The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, held annually at NRG, is the world's largest livestock exhibition and rodeo — it occupies the stadium for three weeks every spring, with the field converted into a dirt arena for bull riding and calf roping.
