Super Bowl LI: Resources

It’s exciting to be hosting the 2017 Super Bowl, but with hosting comes tourists and big crowds, so don’t forget that the area around NRG Park & Stadium is probably going to be a little busier than usual that weekend. If you’re attending the game, check the NRG website for information on parking, seating, and more.

Attending the game? Don’t forget to check out the official Houston Super Bowl website to see a calendar of official events, connect with the Super Bowl on social media, volunteer opportunities, and even a cool guide to Houston for visitors.
