Season Ticket Holder here – Got an email with the Fall plans at NRG

As noted in the title, the Texans sent out an email stating the plans for NRG seating in the Fall. Please note they are sending these out in waves, so if you are a season ticket holder, you might not have received it yet.

Basically here what they said:

Only 14K will be allowed in attendance
The first 8 rows will be empty
Must wear a mask unless actively eating or drinking
As a season ticket holder you can opt out on the season and still keep the same seats in 2021
Must have electronic tickets

They haven’t made a decision how they are going to allocate tickets. My husband called the main office and the hope is most will opt out so they don’t have to make the hard decision on who gets in and those who don’t.

Anything outdoors, but empty?

I have a newborn and my elderly parents just came into town. My mother’s birthday is happening soon, and would love to do something that is different than hanging out around the house. Is there anything that is empty on a weekday mornings? Arboretum, etc.?
