    UGH. That is terrible, I don't mind Reliant Stadium. NRG is as bad as AT&T Stadium.

    It still has to be approved though right? Some vote coming up...but it'll more than likely be voted in.

    If you're thinking what I think you're thinking, then that's a mighty stretch.

    NRG = energy. I actually like it. They can use that as some type of marketing scheme for our fans.

    Yeah, it's not that bad and actually better than (or at the very least, no different) than Reliant

    Only thing I can think of is a degrading racist word. Which in that case I agree with the person you quoted that it is indeed a stretch.

    Lol, I knew before I clicked on this thread that there would be people in here complaining about changing from a blase name like Reliant to an equally blase name like NRG. ComplainFans strikes again! I mean "UGH, hideous, r****ded"... Is it really that serious?
