Transportation Tips: How To Get Around Houston During Super Bowl LI

Houston is ready, prepared and excited to welcome you to Super Bowl LI.

The Greater Houston area and their partners have been working diligently to create a safe and enjoyable experience for all fans. Whether you’re here from out of town cheering on your favorite team at the game, a local coming Downtown for all of the events or just here for the other sporting events, shows and concerts, this guide is for you:

• Clock Management: We welcome you, your family, and your friends to join in on the fun with over 100,000 people per day across all Super Bowl events. Please allow extra time to travel downtown due to event-specific road closures and detours.

•  Connecting Communities: Public transportation is the recommended travel method to access Downtown Houston for Super Bowl related events. Through our partnership with Metro we have worked on extended event schedules, increased frequency, and added special event circulators and shuttles.
