Houston Texans Team History
Established in 1999 as Houston’s second NFL franchise (after the Oilers moved and became the Titans), the Houston Texans did not participate in their first official NFL season until 2002. In their first home opener, the Texans beat the Dallas Cowboys 19-10, becoming the first NFL expansion team to win their opening game since the Vikings beat the Bears in 1961.
The Texans secured their first big win as the AFC South champions in 2011 and clinched their first berth into the playoffs. They have since secured the title five more times, in 2012, 2015, 2016, 2018, and 2019.

The Houston Texans’ name and logo was unveiled before thousands of fans in September 2000. According to the late Texans owner Bob McNair, the name and logo of the Houston Texans was chosen to “embody the pride, strength, independence and achievement that make the people of Houston and our area special." McNair received approval to use the Texans name from Kansas City Chiefs owner Lamar Hunt as the Texans name had been previously used by the Dallas Texans, the precursor to today’s Chiefs.

I enjoyed being there, had a LOT of fun. Everything was great except the actual offense, defense, and special teams.
As everybody knows its only a pre season game, but the feeling to be part of the Texans football team is great, I really enjoy the Stadium, all the facilities are great, the prices on the beer are kind of expensive, but its worth it. I really recomend the experience lived in this game, at the end texans was beated but its only a pre season game.
The game was awesome, but Reliant Stadium has some ridiculous rules and policies. Our seats were in the 700 nosebleed level, which required an elevator to get to. I was briefly concerned about a fire, power outage, or other disaster that might happen in which I'd be trapped on the 700 level with no way out. My husband and I purchased a couple beers (for about $20) and began the trek to our seats only to find out that we could not get on the elevator or escalators with an alcoholic beverage. We ended up sitting in someone else's seats who never showed up. We had a great time with the Saints and Texans fans surrounding us, but Reliant Stadium did not add to our good time.
It looked like it was going to be a good game until about 5 minutes into the 2nd quarter. The Saints were running basic plays, but the Texans couldn't seem to get their act together. The Texans basically had no defense. They made rookie mistakes. High schoolers played better football than that!!!
All around good time. Easy access to stadium via cab. Will call easy to find, Reliant Stadium very nice, Texan fans can be loud and can see where a game on the line in the 4th quarter would be loud!
i would have to say that this experience was pretty good to be a pre-season game.
