Visit different downtown during Super Bowl week
There’s going to be a lot going on in the week leading up to the Super Bowl on Feb. 1, and most of it won’t be at Reliant Stadium.
Houston has been gearing up for this for years, and the downtown area especially will look and feel different. Even if you rarely frequent the clubs and cultural centers downtown and are scared by the crowds, the change in the atmosphere will be well worth the trip and the chaos.
With thousands of people coming to town and the streets blocked off to traffic, a taste of a world-class pedestrian downtown area is only a light rail ride away.
Put down your books, get on a train and enjoy it. It isn’t every day that Houston is the life of the party. Don’t waste it.
