Houston in July is a different kind of hot — 93°F with extreme humidity that feels like 105°F. NRG has a roof but the entry queues are outside. Bring an electrolyte drink, wear the lightest thing you own, and hydrate the morning before the match. METRORail to Reliant Park station is the right call every single time.
