The Houston Texans are deciding whether to build a new stadium or renovate NRG Stadium.

The stadium, opened in 2002 at a cost of $352 million, is facing an estimated $2 billion in repairs and upgrades, according to a recent assessment.

NRG Stadium has hosted various events, and the decision involves factors like potential disruptions, financial implications, and community impact.

The Texans may use a combination of private investment, public funding, and financing to cover costs, though the funding plan is not yet clear.

The team is considering fan amenities, accessibility, and technology in their decision. Both renovation and construction options would affect local neighborhoods, traffic, and businesses.

The Texans are consulting experts and other NFL teams for guidance. No official timeline for the decision has been set, but the process is ongoing.
