NRG Stadium parking
All official NRG Park lots are cashless: pay by card or mobile wallet, and pre-purchase for Texans games and big concerts. Prices depend on the event.
Uber and Lyft
Rideshare zones are set by event. For major concerts, NRG Park has used the area near Gate 16B and the Yellow Lot. Expect heavy congestion and surge pricing right after the event, so the train is often faster.
