The NRG (formerly Reliant Arena formerly the Astroarena) is a 350,000 square foot multipurpose sports and exhibition facility located at Reliant Park in Houston, Texas.
NRG Arena consists of multiple rooms and divisions on two separate floors. The main partition on the first floor is the Arena Proper, a 24,000 square foot arena that can seat up to 8,500 people; it serves as an ideal location for events that would not fill larger venues (such as Reliant Stadium or Toyota Center). In addition, there are four exhibit halls, the largest being Exhibit Hall D, with 100,000 square feet of space. Exhibit Hall A, features 75,000 square feet of space, while Exhibit Halls B and C have 50,000 square feet of space each. The upper level maintains smaller meeting rooms and office space as well as the Stockman's Club.
Construction of NRG Arena originated in the early 1970s and was completed in 1974; the facility sat adjacent to the Astrohall (demolished in 2002).
In 2008 the Arena proper served as the home court for the now-defunct Houston Comets of the WNBA; the arena also served as a temporary home court for Rice University men's and women's basketball teams in 2008-2009.
