Stadium Park/Astrodome station
Stadium Park/Astrodome is an island platformed METRORail light rail station in Houston, Texas, United States. The station was opened on January 1, 2004 originally as Reliant Park station, and is operated by the Metropolitan Transit Authority of Harris County, Texas (METRO). The station is located at the intersection of Fannin Street and Holly Hall Street, next to NRG Park. This station is decorated with various photographs from The Astrodome's history including the Rodeo, the Houston Astros and an Elvis concert. Despite Reliant Park changing its name to NRG Park in 2014, the station continued  to bear its former name for two more years. In late 2016, METRO opted not to rename it after NRG, instead changing its name to Stadium Park/Astrodome. The NRG naming rights went to the train station in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
