Houston's NRG Stadium upgrading food operation for 2017 Super Bowl

It's never too early to start thinking about next year's Super Bowl, according to the Houston Texans.

The Texans, whose facility, NRG Stadium, is playing host to the 2017 NFL title game, are working with their food vendor Aramark on upgrades to all aspects of foodservice at the 71,500-seat stadium. It's a multiyear project with a big piece occurring before the Big Game on Feb. 5.

There have been a few renovations on the food side in the years since the stadium opened in 2002, but time has come for a major refresh of general concessions and premium dining, said Jamey Rootes, president of the Texans, the stadium's co-tenant with the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo.
