Reliant Stadium Transportation & Parking Information

Accessible Parking

ReliantParking spaces are available for guests with disabilities on the north and south sides of Reliant Stadium and passes for these spaces can be pre-purchased, subject to availability.

In addition to this parking pass, fans must have a Texas Disabled Person Parking Placard. The person possessing the Texas Disabled Person Parking Placard must also be in the vehicle to park in a space reserved for guests with disabilities. These items will be monitored and strictly enforced, so please have both placards visibly displayed in your car while on Reliant Park property. Violation of these regulations may result in forfeiture of the parking pass. Please note that specific parking spaces cannot be reserved.

For limited mobility guests, drop off and pick up points have been designated on the southeast (Gallery Furniture Gate) and northeast (Coca-Cola Gate) corners of Reliant Stadium. Drivers may access these locations off of Kirby onto Westridge or Reliant Parkway (McNee), respectively, by alerting the parking attendant that they are dropping off or picking up a guest. Once the guest is dropped off, drivers should leave and proceed to the Jiffy Lube Parking Lot for which they have a parking pass.

For limited mobility guests using the light rail system, there is a shuttle that will pick up at the Fannin light rail stop and drop off near the Coca-Cola Gate. The shuttle will also be available at the conclusion of the game for the return trip to the Fannin stop.

Automotive Assistance

Before, during and after the game, AAA Texas will offer complimentary service to guests needing automotive assistance.  AAA Texas vehicles will be located throughout the Jiffy Lube Parking Lots to help fans with automotive difficulties. To reach AAA Texas, please contact a Reliant Park representative or a police officer. Guests may contact a Reliant Park representative by phoning 832.667.1400. Please raise the hood on your car to indicate that you need assistance and when providing information,  please be sure to note your vehicle location (i.e. Blue Lot #23 adjacent to Kirby Drive) and vehicle type.

Bus Parking

All buses (passenger charter and tailgating) will require two (2)  pre-purchased parking passes to park at Reliant Park. Passenger buses may drop off on the north side of Reliant Stadium as directed and are encouraged to purchase pre-purchased parking passes in the Red parking area (subject to availability). Recreational vehicle (RV) parking is available at Reliant Park for Texans games. Guests must pre-purchase a minimum of two parking passes for an RV, depending on its size and the number of spaces it will fill when parked. Water lines and grey water drainage are not available.

Emergency Call Boxes

For the safety and comfort of our fans, there are emergency call boxes in all parking lots. The red boxes marked "Emergency" are located throughout each parking lot (see map on page 24) and ring directly to Stadium security. Please use the emergency call boxes only in the case of a serious emergency.

Limousine Service

Limousines may drop off and pick up in the Teal Lot near the north pedestrian bridge over Kirby Drive to the Stadium. Please note that limousines will not be permitted to park on-site unless they have a pre-paid parking pass. Without a pre-paid parking pass, they may stop only to drop off and pick up their passengers.

METRORail

Houston’s light rail system serves Reliant Stadium and we encourage fans to use this option. Trains run every 12 minutes and the cost of riding the train is only $1.25 each way. All trains are accessible and a shuttle will be available to transport disabled guests needing additional assistance from the Fannin light rail stop to a drop off point near the Coca-Cola gate.  For complete information on schedules, parking areas and buying tickets, please visit ridemetro.org.

Motorcycle Parking

Every motorcycle must have a parking pass and must park in a single parking space. Multiple motorcycles may not be parked in the same space.

Taxi and Hotel Shuttle Services

Taxis and hotel shuttles may drop off and pick up in the Green Lot near the south pedestrian bridge over Kirby Drive to the Stadium.  Taxis are staged in this location so guests do not need to call ahead for your cab postgame.
