The Harris County-Houston Sports Authority still owes $1B in principal debt on bond money used to build NRG Stadium, Daikin Park and the Toyota Center. The Texans are also paid more in tax rebates than they pay in rent to play at NRG Stadium, so local government could be reluctant to offer more incentives.

The Texans are negotiating a new lease at NRG Stadium, which is owned by the county. But the football team may seek the public’s help in building a new facility

The report mentions that the renovations to the nearly 30-year-old stadium could cost up to $1.4 billion. If the team plans to add more premium features to the stadium, the easier path might be to build a new location with public funding.
