"The city of Houston gets to host Germany, Portugal, and the Netherlands! The three nations are combining for seven World Cup titles and a global superstar, Cristiano Ronaldo, who is possibly in for his last World Cup appearance. On top of the Group games involving three of the most prestigious national teams out there, the Houston crowd will also witness the July 4 Round of 16 and potentially Brazil in the Round of 32 if they win Group C."
"In total, NRG Stadium hosts seven matches. As such, it is tied for second-most among the US venues. However, with an overwhelmingly exciting group stage that features the aforementioned heavyweights, Houston might be the most desirable soccer location across the USA. Adding to what's sure to be a fantastic footballing experience is NRG Stadium's retractable roof. It guarantees climate-controlled comfort regardless of Houston's June/July heat. This matters when temperatures reach 95°F with Gulf Coast humidity."
Houston will host group matches featuring Germany, Portugal, and the Netherlands, combining for seven World Cup titles and featuring Cristiano Ronaldo, possibly in his last World Cup. NRG Stadium will host seven matches, including the July 4 Round of 16, and could stage Brazil in the Round of 32 if Brazil wins Group C. NRG Stadium’s World Cup configuration capacity is 72,000 and the venue sits eight miles from downtown at One NRG Parkway. The stadium opened in 2002 at a cost of £284 million ($352 million, 2002 dollars). The retractable roof guarantees climate-controlled comfort during June/July heat that can reach 95°F with Gulf Coast humidity. Travel considerations include distances to Hobby (10 miles) and Bush Intercontinental airports (30 miles), MetroRail versus I-45 traffic, and nearby Space Center Houston for day trips.
