How To Save On Parking

2. Get on the METRORail station connected to the lot ($1.25 each way), ride for one stop, get off at Stadium Park/Astrodome. 

3. Walk the few hundred feet to the NRG Center (it will be the building closest to the METRORail stop).

       Trains run every 6-12 minutes!

 

*Please note that we consistently update information in the Exhibitor Kit. It's best to check in from time to time for important updates.
