Key takeaway Further information on this development can be found through Houston Public Media, which has reported on the plans for the new arena complex.
A new arena complex is being built by the Houston rodeo, with a price tag of $300 million. The organization has stated that this development does not mean it is leaving its current location at NRG Park. The new complex will serve to complement the existing operations at NRG Park, rather than replace them.
However, it is expected that many competitions and livestock shows will be relocated to the new site. Further information on this development can be found through Houston Public Media, which has reported on the plans for the new arena complex.
