NRG Stadium

From nearby casino resorts to local gaming entertainment, explore exciting entertainment destinations within reach of Houston.

NRG Stadium is the crown jewel of Houston's sports scene and the home of the Houston Texans NFL franchise. With a seating capacity of 72,220 and a state-of-the-art retractable roof, this stadium delivers a world-class game day experience rain or shine, making it one of the top destinations for fans who enjoy sports betting in Texas. Located within the sprawling NRG Park complex in south Houston, the venue is surrounded by massive tailgate lots that buzz with energy hours before every kickoff.

Beyond football, NRG Stadium transforms into Houston's biggest entertainment venue. Every spring, it hosts the world-famous Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo — the largest event of its kind, drawing over 2.5 million visitors across three weeks. The rodeo brings top-tier country and pop concerts, livestock competitions, carnival rides, and Texas BBQ cook-offs all under one retractable roof.

The stadium has also hosted two Super Bowls (XXXVIII in 2004 and LI in 2017), NCAA Final Four events, international soccer matches — all marquee events that attract Texas sports betting enthusiasts, monster truck rallies, and major concerts from artists like Beyonce, Taylor Swift, and The Rolling Stones. The adjacent NRG Center serves as one of the largest convention facilities in the Southwest.

The NRG Park complex sits right next to the iconic Astrodome — the world's first domed stadium, now a designated Texas State Antiquities Landmark. While the Astrodome is no longer used for events, its historic presence adds to the area's significance in American sports history.

Visitor Tips: Arrive early to enjoy tailgating — the lots open several hours before kickoff and feature live music, BBQ, and a festive atmosphere. The METRORail Red Line has a dedicated NRG Park/Fannin South station for easy access without parking hassle. For Rodeo season, buy tickets early as popular concerts sell out fast. Parking is available on-site but expect heavy traffic on game days — rideshare is often the smarter option.
