The city of Houston has always been on the cutting edge
of stadiums. In 1965, the city opened the Astrodome which
was the first domed stadium in the world. In 2002, the
city of Houston showed it was one of the leading forces
in stadium technology again when they unveiled NRG
Stadium the home of the National Football League’s
Houston Texans. The stadium is the first one in the NFL
to have a retractable roof. The Texans hosted its first
regular season game against the Dallas Cowboys in front
of over 70,000 people. The first game had a college football
game feel that has carried over to this day. In their first
season the team averaged 70,469 for all eight of their
home games.
The field was also the backdrop for Super
Bowl XXXVIII that showcased one of the greatest Super Bowls
of all time when the New England Patriots defeated the
Carolina Panthers by a field goal with the clock running
out.
The Stadium hosts a number of different
events other than NFL football. NRG Stadium has been
the backdrop for a number NCAA Football games and bigger
games like two Houston Bowls and one Big XII Championship
game. The stadium is also one of the better soccer stadiums
in the US and hosted a number of US national team soccer
matches. The Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo is also
one of the many events that sells out NRG Stadium on
a regular basis.
