Parking at NRG Stadium is huge but it can get crazy busy on big event days, so planning ahead is worth it. There are lots around the stadium with color names like Blue, Yellow, Red, Orange, and more, and you usually have to buy a parking pass online first. All parking is cashless now, so bring a card or mobile payment for entry. Prices can vary a lot based on the event and where you park, so check online before you go. Tailgating is popular on Texans game days, and most lots open several hours before kickoff. Lots fill up early, and after the event leaving can take a while because of big crowds. One cool trick some fans use is taking public transit or parking further out and riding the light rail in to avoid traffic jams.
