TAILGATING POLICIES
We want NRG Stadium to provide the finest tailgating experience, so we have
established a few guidelines to make your tailgating party great.
· All Parking lots will open four hours prior to kickoff.
· All parking at NRG Stadium will require a pre-
purchased parking hangtag; you will not be able to buy
any additional parking at the gate.

not be allowed. If you would like to tailgate near
friends, please arrive together.
· Tailgating will be limited to one 8'x 16' space for each
valid parking hangtag, and must not cross over into
the drive lane
designated by the blue lines down
each aisle.

purchase a minimum of two parking spots and need to
park in the designated RV areas in each lot.
· If you plan to extend sides or set chairs outside of your
RV or bus you will need parking hangtags in addition
to the ones for the space that will be used by your
vehicle.
· Barbecues in tow will also be required to have an
additional pre-purchased hangtag. You will not be
allowed to buy one at the gate.
