Houston Texans Commit to Renovating NRG Stadium, President Mike Tomon Rules Out New VenueSource: Google Street View

The Houston Texans are focusing on renovating NRG Stadium instead of building a new one. Mike Tomon, in his first month as president, emphasized that keeping the stadium functional for the future is the priority. He stated that building a new stadium is "not a focus right now," according to KHOU.

The lease at NRG Stadium runs until 2032, but the Texans, RodeoHouston, and Harris County are already discussing potential renovations. The team has stated that it will remain in the Greater Houston area. The president mentioned that there is an ongoing collaborative process for the stadium's future, but specific details on funding or costs have not been shared, as stated by KHOU.

In a report by Sports Business Journal, Tomon explained that the focus is on renovating NRG Stadium, stating, "We have genuinely just been focused on the renovation, what studies are underway, what the project could look like and making sure we are in step with our partners." He drew on his experience with NFL stadium projects, including SoFi Stadium, Allegiant Stadium, and Highmark Stadium, and emphasized a more cautious approach to renovation rather than building a new facility. He also mentioned that they are "going at a slower pace in order to complete necessary due diligence" as part of the process.
