Beginning Saturday, Aug. 16, for Texans preseason kickoff, METRO is making it easier than ever for fans to get to and from NRG Stadium for Texans games by increasing the frequency of Red Line rail service.
This Special Event Service will mean more frequent trains arriving and departing NRG Park and is designed to meet the needs of higher ridership during game days, ensuring a smoother, more convenient travel experience for customers.
Fans can count on METRO to get them where they need to go before, during, and after the game. METRO’s team will be live monitoring service throughout the day to ensure trains are running at the frequency needed to accommodate demand. Adjustments will be made in real time to keep service running efficiently and minimize wait times.
Parking at Fannin South Transit Center
During all home Texans’ games, fans can park and pay $25 (credit or debit card only) at the Fannin South Transit Center (1604 West Bellfort Ave.). Every passenger in a vehicle receives a round-trip wristband to ride the METRORail Red Line for that fixed price. From Fannin South, it’s just one stop to the Stadium Park / Astrodome station.
The $25 parking rate applies to all vehicles that park at Fannin South Transit Center during those dates, even if you’re not attending the event.

For those taking local bus service, three METRO routes stop within walking distance of NRG Park:

Whether you’re heading to NRG Stadium to cheer on the Texans or returning home after the game, METRO’s Special Event Service offers a reliable, affordable, and stress-free way to travel, without the hassle of traffic or parking.
