Route library

Houston matchday routes

Use these routes with the NRG Stadium schedule to plan the practical parts of a Houston soccer day: arrivals, fan districts, stadium movement, watch parties, and the exit after the final whistle. Recovery-day plans help groups choose slower rail-served city stops or deliberate day trips between match plans.

Recovery Day

Use a lower-friction day after a crowded match: Museum District, Hermann Park, an indoor stop, or a deliberate day trip.
