NRG Stadium Information
The official groundbreaking was done on March 9, 2000, and, 30 months later, on August 24, 2002, NRG Stadium was declared open with a preseason game between the Miami Dolphins and Houston Texans following immediately in the new stadium.
The years that followed saw many games, sporting events, concerts, conventions, and exhibitions been done at the stadium or a regular basis until it was hit by Hurricane Ike in September of 2008. The damage affected the roof and other parts of the stadium. This forced the stadium to close down and games and events were postponed then later rescheduled.
NRG stadium was reopened on October 5, 2008, but it was not until February 13, 2009, that repairs were fully completed.
The countless number of upgrades and adjustments that NRG Stadium has continued to make on its facilities has been very effective in increasing its popularity as thousands of people continue to grace the concerts and events that hold there regularly.
