8825 Kirby Dr, Houston, TX 77054

Home of the Texans, the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, and stadium concerts. Renamed from NRG Stadium, in the complex now called Reliant Park. Reach it by the Red Line light rail to avoid the parking scrum.

Insider tip

Take the Red Line from Downtown or the Museum District; it stops at the stadium.

Before you go

What they actually say

  • The complex is now branded Reliant Park: its own A to Z guide names the buildings Reliant Stadium, Reliant Arena and Reliant Center, and nrgpark.com redirects to reliantpark.com. Most signage, tickets and search traffic still say NRG.
  • Backpacks and any bag larger than 11 by 17 inches are prohibited.
  • When the clear bag policy is in force you may carry one clear plastic, vinyl or PVC bag no larger than 12 by 6 by 12 inches, or a one-gallon clear ziploc, plus a clutch no larger than 4.5 by 6.5 inches. NFL games follow the NFL clear bag policy.
  • Reliant Park facilities have a no re-entry policy unless otherwise posted. Once you exit, you are not permitted back in.
  • Prohibited items include weapons and firearms, air horns, video and audio recorders, professional camera equipment, camera lenses over 3 inches, whistles and noisemakers, bottles, cans, coolers, outside food and drink with limited exceptions, laser pointers, hoverboards, drones, and binocular and camera cases.
  • The complex is now Reliant Park, not NRG Park: nrgpark.com redirects to reliantpark.com and the operator's own A-Z guide says Reliant Stadium, Reliant Arena and Reliant Center throughout. Most signage, search results and locals still say NRG.
  • The addresses moved with the name. The stadium and arena are 8825 Kirby Drive and Reliant Center is 8600 Kirby Drive, not the NRG Parkway address older listings carry.
  • Parking is sold by coloured lot - Maroon, Red, Orange, Yellow, Blue, Teal, Green, Purple and Tan - and can be bought in advance through JustPark. On a sell-out day the advance purchase is the difference between parking and circling.
