Houston - Hurricane Beryl's recent passage through Houston has left a significant mark on the city, with one of the notable casualties being the roof of the iconic NRG Stadium.
NRG CEO and Executive Director Ryan Walsh gave this statement:
"Like many of our neighbors in the Gulf Coast region, NRG Park sustained damage from Hurricane Beryl, including to the roof of NRG Stadium. HCSCC officials are collaborating with state, county, and city officials to assist with recovery efforts throughout the region. This collective undertaking requires all of us to work together with a strong commitment to our community. While we assist with these efforts, we are also assessing the extent of damages to NRG Park facilities. We look forward to seeing our neighbors at NRG Park soon as we return to normal operations."
