Harris County approves $47.14 million NRG Park repair plan
Harris County moved $47.14 million toward 24 NRG Park repairs, led by a $12 million roof replacement at NRG Center and major safety upgrades.
The Harris County Sports & Convention Corporation approved a $47.14 million capital improvement plan for NRG Park, setting up 24 priority repairs before the complex’s next round of major events. The board took the vote June 25 at 8410 Lantern Point Dr. in Houston, then sent the plan to the Harris County Commissioners Court for funding.
The largest item is a $12 million replacement of the roof at NRG Center, the convention facility that offers more than 706,000 square feet of exhibit space, 59 meeting rooms and 11 exhibit halls. Another $4.5 million would go toward waterproofing and repairing windows in the upper levels of NRG Stadium, while $6.81 million is set aside for elevator repairs in both buildings. The package also includes emergency communications and drainage improvements across the park’s 350 acres.
Harris County Sports & Convention Corporation manages, operates, maintains and develops NRG Park on county-owned property, and its board is appointed by the Harris County Commissioners Court. Once county funding is secured, the corporation will set a repair timeline. A 2024 facility assessment found NRG Park faces about $1.9 billion in deferred and ongoing maintenance over the next 30 years.
The new capital request follows an earlier step in October 2025, when the board approved a draft capital improvement plan and authorized up to $2.5 million for design proposals tied to the highest-priority projects. The Houston Texans and Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo both hold leases that run through 2032.
