Long-Standing Partnership Delivers a Durable, High-Performing Playing Surface Designed to Meet the Demands of One of the Nation's Busiest Multi-Use Stadiums
HOUSTON, TEXAS — Hellas is proud to continue its partnership with the Houston Texans, providing the playing surface and ongoing field support at Reliant Stadium, where performance demands extend far beyond NFL game days.

Home to the Houston Texans, Reliant Stadium also maintains a busy year-round event schedule that includes college football, concerts, Monster Jam, Disney on Ice and other large-scale events. With frequent conversions and periods when the playing surface must remain covered, the field requires exceptional durability, resilience and recovery while maintaining the consistent performance expected at the professional level.

For the Texans, that makes the relationship with their turf provider especially important.

“One of the most important responsibilities of our stadium partners is to help us maintain a playing surface that delivers consistent performance and prioritizes player safety,” said Juan Rodriguez, Senior Vice President and Chief Venue Officer for the Houston Texans. “Hellas is such a valuable partner because they understand the realities of a busy multi-use venue.”

Hellas works closely with the Texans’ stadium operations team to help ensure the field is prepared for football regardless of the event or stadium conversion that preceded it. The partnership combines a high-performance synthetic turf system with ongoing service and support designed around the unique operational demands of Reliant Stadium.

“Player safety is our top priority,” Rodriguez said. “Hellas has helped us implement a field that meets the demands of football season; while also supporting the additional events and football programs we host throughout the year. The field provides excellent footing, durability and consistent performance for athletes at every level.”

For Hellas, the partnership reflects an approach that extends beyond manufacturing and installing a playing surface. Hellas works alongside venue operators to understand how a field will be used, the demands placed upon it and what is required to maintain consistent performance throughout its lifecycle.

That level of support is particularly important in a venue like Reliant Stadium, where the transition from one major event to the next can leave little margin for downtime.

“What stands out most is our partnership,” Rodriguez said. “The Hellas team is responsive and dependable. They work alongside us to make sure that the field is ready whenever we need it.”

Hellas is the Preferred Turf Provider of the Houston Texans, continuing a relationship built on years of performance, service, and trust.

“When the lights come on and the athletes take the field, we need to feel confident in the surface beneath them,” Rodriguez said. “Hellas has earned that confidence over the years, and that’s why they are a trusted partner of the Houston Texans.”
