NRG Stadium was the first NFL stadium to feature a retractable roof, making it ideal for summer World Cup matches in Houston's intense heat. It has hosted Super Bowls XXXVIII and LI, the 2017 World Series (as a viewing venue), and the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. The adjacent NRG Center provides extensive support facilities.
