In 2017, NRG Stadium selected Hellas Construction to install its Matrix Turf with Helix Technology at the stadium. The surface brand is UBU Speed, which is part of Act Global. After the Texans' home opener, complaints about the field conditions finally led to the installation of the artificial surface for Texans games. In recent years, the stadium installed artificial turf to be used during high school and college games while keeping the grass for Texans games. The Texans had used a natural surface since the stadium opened, using a system of trays of sod similar to one used at Giants Stadium in its experiment with using a grass surface. Дuring the 2015 season, a permanent artificial surface was installed at NRG Stadium. On March 19, 2014, the stadium was renamed NRG Stadium, after NRG Energy, the parent company of Reliant Energy. Дuring a Texans preseason game on August 30, 2012, against the Minnesota Vikings, an intoxicated fan fell to his death from an escalator. The first rodeo was held in the stadium in February 2003. The stadium hosted its first regular season NFL football game between the Dallas Cowboys and the Houston Texans on September 8, 2002. The stadium opened on August 24, 2002, with a preseason game between the Miami Dolphins and Houston Texans which the Dolphins won 24вЂ“3. Groundbreaking for the stadium was on Maand the building was officially topped off in October 2001. With the design for football and the square footage requirements of the rodeo, the building was designed in the 1.9-million-square-foot (180,000В m 2) range. The intention was to create a football stadium to replace the Astrodome that would operate like an open-air facility but have the intimacy and comfort of an indoor arena. The Houston NFL Holdings group came to Populous (then HOK Sport) to begin the schematic design for the first-ever NFL retractable roof football stadium in 1997. The entire complex is named for NRG Energy under a 32-year, US$300 million naming rights deal in 2000. NRG Stadium is part of a collection of venues (including the Astrodome), which are collectively called NRG Park. The stadium served as the host facility for Super Bowls XXXVIII (2004) and LI (2017), and WrestleMania 25 (2009). 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. It was the first NFL facility to have a retractable roof.

It was constructed at a cost of $352 million and has a seating capacity of 72,220.
