distinguished two-sport athletes in Longhorn history. As a member of
both the track and field and football teams, Metcalf broke numerous records that still stand today. A four-time All-American in track and field,
Metcalf won the National Championship in the long jump in 1986 and
1988 and placed eighth in the 1988 U.S. Olympic Trials. In addition to
his success on the track, Metcalf was a three-time All-Southwest Conference selection, second-team All-American and winner of the Southwest
Conference Player of the Year in 1987. Along with holding every running
back receiving record, Metcalf remains the only player in Texas history to lead the team in
all-purpose yards for four consecutive years. Metcalf’s success on the football field continued
after the Cleveland Browns selected him in the first round of the 1989 NFL Draft. The threetime Pro Bowl selection ranks 12th on the NFL’s All Time Kick Returns List, 13th on the All
Time All-Purpose Yards List and his 12 returned kick touchdowns are tied for third-most in NFL
history. During his 13 years in the NFL, Metcalf found time to create the Seatown Express
Track Club to inspire athletes to pursue track and earn college scholarships through the sport.
The son of former NFL running back, Terry Metcalf, is a member of the University of Texas’ Hall
of Honor.

PRESIDENT
LONE STAR SPORTS & ENTERTAINMENT
Jamey Rootes serves as president of the Houston Texans and is responsible for all business functions of the club. Under Rootes’ leadership, the Texans have earned many distinctions, including
numerous “Crystal Awards” for marketing excellence. J.D. Power & Associates recognized the team
for providing the best fan experience in the NFL and even featured the Texans as a service success
story in their book entitled “Satisfaction.” The Texans were also recognized with Sports Business
Journal’s PRISM Award, which is given annually to the top major professional sports team based on
business excellence criteria. In 2015, the Texans extended their sell-out streak to 143 consecutive
home games, a Houston NFL record and a testament to the quality of service and entertainment provided by the organization on game day. As a result, the Texans have consistently been recognized
as one of the most valuable professional sports franchises both in the NFL and globally, as measured
by a variety of business publications. In 2013, 2014 and 2015, the Texans were recognized by the
Houston Chronicle as one of “Houston’s Top Workplaces”.
Rootes was selected twice by SportsBusiness Journal as a member of its distinguished “Forty

to benefit youth and families in the Houston area. Since inception, the Texans have helped raise well
over $25 million through annual fundraising events, disaster response programs, the team’s United
Way campaign and partnerships with non-profit organizations on game day.
Prior to joining the Texans, Rootes helped to launch Major League Soccer as president and general
manager of the Columbus Crew. During his tenure, the Crew was consistently among the league’s
strongest teams both on and off the field, and Rootes was recognized as Executive of the Year in
1996 and Marketing Executive of the Year in 1999. Rootes helped lead the construction of Crew
Stadium in 1999, which was the first stadium of its type in the United States. This facility earned
distinction as America’s Foremost Sports Facility of the Year and led to the development of numerous
soccer-specific stadiums across the United States over the past decade, including BBVA Compass
Stadium in Houston.
A native of Stone Mountain, Ga., Rootes graduated Cum Laude from Clemson University’s Calhoun
Honors College. While attending Clemson, Rootes was a member of the Tigers’ soccer team that

NRG STADIUM
The first NFL stadium with a retractable roof, NRG Stadium opened for business on Aug. 24, 2002, as the
Texans hosted the Miami Dolphins in the preseason. Houston’s regular-season debut against Dallas on
Sept. 8 was televised nationally on ESPN. The Texans stunned the Cowboys 19-10 before a raucous crowd,
unveiling a gameday atmosphere that would become a staple throughout the Texans’ inaugural campaign.
In 2013, the world’s second-largest indoor high-definition video boards were installed at the north and south
ends of the stadium. The Mitsubishi Electric Diamond Vision System boards are 14,549 square feet apiece
and have a display resolution of 1,000 x 5,280 pixels in HD 1080i format.
Counting preseason games, the Texans have played to 141 consecutive sellouts. They set a team record
in 2014 with 574,132 fans during the regular season, an average of 71,767 per game. The Texans’ largest
crowd through 13 seasons was 71,787 for their Thursday Night Football matchup with the Indianapolis Colts
on Oct. 9, 2014, the largest non-Super Bowl football crowd in the city’s history.
Speaking of the Super Bowl, the world’s biggest sports spectacle will take place in NRG Stadium for a
second time in February 2017. The city of Houston was awarded Super Bowl LI following a vote by NFL
owners in May 2013. The Super Bowl returned to Houston for the first time in 30 years in 2004 as NRG
Stadium hosted a memorable Super Bowl XXXVIII between the New England Patriots and Carolina Panthers.
The Patriots won 32-29 on Adam Vinatieri’s 41-yard field goal with four seconds remaining before a crowd
of 71,525. The event also featured elaborate pregame and halftime shows featuring the likes of Aerosmith,
Beyoncé, Kid Rock, P. Diddy, Nelly, Toby Keith and Willie Nelson.
NRG Stadium has hosted numerous college football games, including the Texas Bowl since 2006, three
Houston Bowls, the 2002 and 2005 Big 12 Championship Games, the 2007 East-West Shrine Game,
the Bayou Bucket (Rice vs. Houston) and the second annual AdvoCare Texas Kickoff featuring LSU and
Wisconsin. NRG Stadium housed the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament Sweet 16 in 2008 and 2010 and
hosted the Final Four in 2011. The Final Four will return in 2016.
NRG Stadium also has become one of the nation’s leading soccer venues. The U.S. Men’s National Soccer
Team hosted Mexico in May 2003 in the two teams’ first match since their 2002 World Cup meeting. In 2005,
NRG Stadium hosted the championship matches of the Mexican League’s InterLiga qualification competition.
The stadium hosted another U.S.-Mexico match and a Mexico-Belize World Cup qualifier in 2008 and
hosted matches in the CONCACAF Gold Cup in 2005, 2007 and 2009, as well as the Gold Cup semifinals
in 2011 and 2010 MLS All-Star Game featuring Manchester United. In July, NRG Stadium hosted Mexico vs.
Honduras as part of the 2015 Mexican National Team U.S. Tour.
The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo continued to play to a packed house in 2014, boasting such
acts as Maroon 5, Luke Bryan, Usher, Blake Shelton and Banda MS. NRG Stadium also has played host
to concerts by U2, The Rolling Stones, Metallica, George Strait and Kenny Chesney, and premier events
including WrestleMania XXV, Disney on Ice and the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus.
Ground broke on NRG Stadium on March 9, 2000. The stadium, covering 1.9 million square feet, features
44,000 seats on the sideline. There are 8,400 club seats and 195 suites, along with 10 party suites on the
300 level.
With the innovation of the retractable roof, Houston returned to outdoor NFL action in 2002 for the first time
since Super Bowl VIII at Rice Stadium in 1974. The roof is made of translucent, Teflon-coated fiberglass
fabric and takes 10 minutes to open and close. When it opens, the roof splits at the 50-yard line and docks
in the end zones.
The climate-controlled stadium also features a natural grass playing surface. The grass is grown on eightfoot square trays, then transported to the stadium.
NRG Stadium features an open view of the playing field from the main concourse and on the club level. The
main concourse is 40 feet wide, which makes it one of the largest in the NFL. Each concession stand has
multiple televisions that enable Texans fans to stay on top of the action.
Across the street, the Houston Methodist Training Center features three outdoor grass practice fields. One
field is lit for night sessions during training camp. The Houston Methodist Training Center also features an
indoor practice field outfitted with FieldTurf. The air-supported structure offers the team a seamless transition
from outdoor to indoor practice in case of inclement weather. The state-of-the-art facility also doubles as the
team’s training camp headquarters.
