Houston Texans
Established by Bob McNair, the Houston Texans began play in 2002 as the NFL’s 32nd franchise, returning pro football to Houston. The Texans established a hard-nosed identity, securing multiple AFC South crowns behind elite perimeter play and defensive dominance. The franchise’s gold standard of excellence was forged by Hall of Fame wide receiver Andre Johnson and three-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year JJ Watt.

NRG Stadium
NRG Stadium is located within NRG Park in Houston, Texas, approximately six miles southwest of downtown. The venue features a retractable roof and can seat 72,220 fans. After utilizing modular natural grass trays in its early years, the facility now features a Hellas Matrix artificial turf system.
NRG Stadium’s retractable roof allows the Texans to completely bypass Houston’s oppressive early-season heat and high humidity by keeping the roof closed and the climate-controlled air at a comfortable 72°F. When the roof is opened for rare pleasant late-autumn afternoons, external wind and heat become minor variables, though games are predominantly played indoors.
