There is construction on 610/288 highways and on Westridge.

For fans who are in the Blue and Green lots, this has an effect. It also impacts anyone exiting Kirby Drive or that uses 288 North and South.

That means fans need to a lot for extra time to get to the stadium.

Here are some parking tips from the Texans:

If they don’t have parking, the team recommends looking for a “Know Before You Go” email from the Texans.

Fans can purchase parking online through that email link, which is less expensive and more convenient. You can also buy mobile passes and use the hangtags, which allows for parking traffic to flow more quickly.

In partnership with Houston TranStar, the Texans are using new innovation to control the lights around NRG Stadium.

Houston TranStar is present in the Texans’ command post at NRG Stadium to monitor and control traffic signals.

Just because there isn’t a police officer standing at the intersection, doesn’t mean that lights and traffic aren’t being controlled during gameday traffic times.
