I am from Canada and will be in Houston this Sunday with my 13 year old son who is obsessed with football. He just finished his third season— 1st bantam year (no idea if yall use the same age categories here). Football is all he thinks about. I have become an NFL football fan myself as a result. Sorry, but I can’t say that we’re Texan fans. I’m not sure how he picked the Eagles but he did and so I follow them more closely than most other teams. I’m just a fan of the game really.

Anyways… we’re considering going to the game this Sunday against the Dolphins. It will be both of our first time ever attending a live NFL game, and would appreciate and tips and advice for getting to and from the game (I would rather not drive and park our rental car), what to expect in terms of beer and food prices, what is a decent price for tickets (we’re not high rollers— just there for the experience), how early should we aim to arrive, and any general tips for getting the most out of the experience. We’ll be staying in the Galleria area and heading straight to the airport after the game. Is light rail transit an option (my wife will be meeting us at the airport with the rental car).

P.S. If anyone wants to invite us to their tailgate party, we’re two friendly Canucks just looking to experience all that Texas has to offer and happy to bring beer!
