There's watching a Houston Texans game at NRG Stadium, and then there's watching the game from one of the very posh, very exclusive, very worth it Texans Luxe suites.

But this isn't your typical suite experience — Luxe memberships go beyond just fancy seats for 10 home games each year.

Your membership is not confined to gameday, though you'll definitely want to be there during kickoff. There are also private, Luxe member-only outings that the general public can't access.

Here's a breakdown of what it's like cheering on the Texans from a Houston Texans suite, and what other perks come with the oh-so-coveted Luxe membership:

The Suite Life
Get ready for an unparalleled gameday experience that starts with valet parking options, a private red-carpet entrance to NRG Stadium, and ends on the field with the BMW Postgame Experience.

A personal suite attendant is on hand to serve drinks and food while also tidying up. Members can cater mouthwatering snacks and meals that source as many ingredients locally as possible, and can accommodate all dietary preferences.

There are even collaborations with some of Houston’s finest chefs and restaurants, including James Beard Award-winning chef Chris Shepherd, local barbecue legend Ronnie Killen, six-time James Beard Award finalist Hugo Ortega, local favorite Goode Company, and eatery Anthonie’s Market Grill. You'll only find these one-of-a-kind menu items at NRG Stadium.

Worried about over-ordering drinks? Each suite comes with a locking liquor cabinet to store any leftover drinks until the next game.

Look to TV screens equipped with NFL Sunday Ticket and NFL RedZone to catch all the action. Texans cheerleaders can also stop by for a visit.

Members Only
Luxe Members gain invites year-round to other exclusive events and opportunities you won’t find anywhere else.

Imagine traveling in style to a Texans road game as a guest on the team plane, watching Texans training camp from a private tent, or receiving a post-draft recap from general manager Nick Caserio.

Members get the opportunity to enjoy the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo from the Founder’s Suite, as well as an invite to the Business Partner Invitational Golf Tournament at Bluejack National.

Another eagerly anticipated event is Texans Luxe Minicamp, where members get an overview of all their benefits and learn about new menu options.

Finally, you’ll want to clear your schedule for the Luxe Dinner series, held at the most esteemed restaurants with a Texans Luxe Chef twist.

Members can also host their own private event at NRG Stadium on a non-game day. Choose from your suite, a Texans boardroom, or anywhere around NRG Park.

And, of course, incredible networking opportunities abound among the more than 150 Luxe members, many of whom are Houston's most influential business leaders. Each member is assigned a Texans Luxe Partnership Service Coordinator, who acts as your point person and helps facilitate meetings and introductions. You might just form your new best partnership!

All the Options
Single-game suites are also available — you can even purchase them through BitWallet, the official digital currency wallet of the Houston Texans — but keep in mind you'll be missing out on all the cool bonuses listed above.

Options are available now for the 2022-23 NFL season, and you won't want to miss out on the chance to join the Texans Luxe family. Please fill out this form to be contacted for more information. You can also call Andrew Vitale at 713-724-7732 or email him at Andrew.Vitale@HoustonTexans.com to schedule a meeting.

Houston robotics co. unveils new robot that can handle extreme temperatures

Hot New Robot

Houston- and Boston-based Square Robot Inc.'s newest tank inspection robot is commercially available and certified to operate at extreme temperatures.

The new robot, known as the SR-3HT, can operate from 14°F to 131°F, representing a broader temperature range than previous models in the company's portfolio. According to the company, its previous temperature range reached 32°F to 104°F.

The new robot has received the NEC/CEC Class I Division 2 (C1D2) certification from FM Approvals, allowing it to operate safely in hazardous locations and to perform on-stream inspections of aboveground storage tanks containing products stored at elevated temperatures.

“Our engineering team developed the SR-3HT in response to significant client demand in both the U.S. and international markets. We frequently encounter higher temperatures due to both elevated process temperatures and high ambient temperatures, especially in the hotter regions of the world, such as the Middle East," David Lamont, CEO of Square Robot, said in a news release. "The SR-3HT employs both active and passive cooling technology, greatly expanding our operating envelope. A great job done (again) by our engineers delivering world-leading technology in record time.”

The company's SR-3 submersible robot and Side Launcher received certifications earlier this year. They became commercially available in 2023, after completing initial milestone testing in partnership with ExxonMobil, according to Square Robot.

The company closed a $13 million series B round in December, which it said it would put toward international expansion in Europe and the Middle East.

Square Robot launched its Houston office in 2019. Its autonomous, submersible robots are used for storage tank inspections and eliminate the need for humans to enter dangerous and toxic environments.

Houston's Ion District to expand with new research and tech space, The Arc

coming soon

Houston's Ion District is set to expand with the addition of a nearly 200,000-square-foot research and technology facility, The Arc at the Ion District.

Rice Real Estate Company and Lincoln Property Company are expected to break ground on the state-of-the-art facility in Q2 2026 with a completion target set for Q1 2028, according to a news release.

Rice University, the new facility's lead tenant, will occupy almost 30,000 square feet of office and lab space in The Arc, which will share a plaza with the Ion and is intended to "extend the district’s success as a hub for innovative ideas and collaboration." Rice research at The Arc will focus on energy, artificial intelligence, data science, robotics and computational engineering, according to the release.

“The Arc will offer Rice the opportunity to deepen its commitment to fostering world-changing innovation by bringing our leading minds and breakthrough discoveries into direct engagement with Houston’s thriving entrepreneurial ecosystem,” Rice President Reginald DesRoches said in the release. “Working side by side with industry experts and actual end users at the Ion District uniquely positions our faculty and students to form partnerships and collaborations that might not be possible elsewhere.”

Developers of the project are targeting LEED Gold certification by incorporating smart building automation and energy-saving features into The Arc's design. Tenants will have the opportunity to lease flexible floor plans ranging from 28,000 to 31,000 square feet with 15-foot-high ceilings. The property will also feature a gym, an amenity lounge, conference and meeting spaces, outdoor plazas, underground parking and on-site retail and dining.

Preleasing has begun for organizations interested in joining Rice in the building.

“The Arc at the Ion District will be more than a building—it will be a catalyst for the partnerships, innovations and discoveries that will define Houston’s future in science and technology,” Ken Jett, president of Rice Real Estate Company, added in the release. “By expanding our urban innovation ecosystem, The Arc will attract leading organizations and talent to Houston, further strengthening our city’s position as a hub for scientific and entrepreneurial progress.”

Intel Corp. and Rice University sign research access agreement

innovation access

Rice University’s Office of Technology Transfer has signed a subscription agreement with California-based Intel Corp., giving the global company access to Rice’s research portfolio and the opportunity to license select patented innovations.

“By partnering with Intel, we are creating opportunities for our research to make a tangible impact in the technology sector,” Patricia Stepp, assistant vice president for technology transfer, said in a news release.

Intel will pay Rice an annual subscription fee to secure the option to evaluate specified Rice-patented technologies, according to the agreement. If Intel chooses to exercise its option rights, it can obtain a license for each selected technology at a fee.

Rice has been a hub for innovation and technology with initiatives like the Rice Biotech Launch Pad, an accelerator focused on expediting the translation of the university’s health and medical technology; RBL LLC, a biotech venture studio in the Texas Medical Center’s Helix Park dedicated to commercializing lifesaving medical technologies from the Launch Pad; and Rice Nexus, an AI-focused "innovation factory" at the Ion.

The university has also inked partnerships with other tech giants in recent months. Rice's OpenStax, a provider of affordable instructional technologies and one of the world’s largest publishers of open educational resources, partnered with Microsoft this summer. Google Public Sector has also teamed up with Rice to launch the Rice AI Venture Accelerator, or RAVA.

“This agreement exemplifies Rice University’s dedication to fostering innovation and accelerating the commercialization of groundbreaking research,” Stepp added in the news release.
