Why track NRG Stadium attendance?
If your stub says Reliant Stadium, that is this same Houston building under the name it opened with — not a different stadium. NRG Stadium is the later printed name. Texans nights belong on the Houston Texans game tracker. The Texans have not moved. Either name from 2002 on still maps here. This page holds the building those tickets share.
Whether your stub says Reliant Stadium or NRG Stadium, Ticket Timeline helps you pin each Texans night you attended to the real matchup, roster, and stadium era—so your Houston history is searchable, not scattered.

- Match each night to real players, milestones, and stadium memories from your seats.
- Count this building toward your wider NFL stadium progress across every building you've visited.
