History

NRG Stadium, currently known as Houston Stadium for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, and previously known, and to be renamed, as Reliant Stadium following the event, is a retractable roof multi-purpose stadium in Houston, Texas, U.S. Construction was completed in 2002, at a cost of $352 million and has a seating capacity of 72,220. It was the first NFL facility to have a retractable roof. The stadium is the home of the National Football League's Houston Texans, the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, the Texas Bowl, many of the United States men's national soccer team's matches, Mexico national football team friendlies where El Tri serves as the host, and other events. The stadium served as the host facility for Super Bowls XXXVIII (2004) and LI (2017), the 2024 College Football Playoff National Championship, and WrestleMania 25 (2009). The stadium will host multiple matches during the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Reliant Stadium is part of a collection of venues, which are collectively called Reliant Park. The entire complex is named for Reliant Energy under a 32-year, $300 million naming rights deal in 2000.
