Reliant Stadium

The stadium sits at 1 NRG Parkway in Houston's South Main area, within the NRG Park complex that also includes NRG Arena, NRG Center, and the Astrodome. The location is accessible via the 610 Loop and multiple highways.

Driving & Parking

• Driving
  From I-610 (the Loop), take the Kirby Drive or Fannin Street exits and follow signs to NRG Park. From US-59 (Southwest Freeway), exit at Kirby Drive. From I-45 South, exit at the 610 Loop and head west. Houston traffic is notoriously heavy, so plan accordingly
• Parking
  The NRG Park complex has extensive parking. Pre-purchased parking is required for all lots except the Maroon Lot southwest of the stadium which offers limited gameday purchase. Lots open 4 hours before kickoff except the Platinum lot which opens 5 hours before. The Gold and part of the Green Lots are restricted to fans with suite and season tickets. For tailgate supplies, Kroger and H-E-B (Texas's beloved grocery chain) both have locations nearby. For beverages, Spec's Wines, Spirits & Finer Foods is a Houston institution with a massive selection and competitive prices. The Liquor Store #5 is another convenient option.

Public Transit

• The METRORail Red Line serves the NRG Park/Fannin South station, a short walk from the stadium. From downtown Houston, the ride takes about 20 minutes. On game days, METRO runs additional trains. The METRORail is the most efficient way to get to the game from the downtown hotel district.

Rideshare (Uber/Lyft)

• Designated rideshare zones are on Kirby Drive and McNee Road. Expect surge pricing of 2-3x on game days. Post-game, walking to the NRG/Fannin South METRORail station is often faster than waiting for a rideshare in the parking lot gridlock.

The NRG Park area itself is dominated by parking lots and tailgating, but the surrounding neighborhoods — Midtown, Montrose, the Museum District, and the Medical Center area — offer excellent restaurant and bar options within a short drive.

Pregame Bars & Restaurants
