Geocache Description:

Short 2-stop mulitcache, the first location is available Monday-Saturday from 10 am to 5:30 pm year-round, with Sunday openings and extended hours during the rodeo. Enter at the Westridge Gate off of Kirby (N29 40.925, W095 25.706) and turn left into the free parking lot for the Go Texan store, then proceed to the listed coordinates on foot.

Home of the Houston Texans and the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, NRG Stadium (formerly Reliant Stadium) was built in 2002 and is part of the larger NRG Park of stadiums, conference centers and exhibition spaces.



A glass wall between the new NRG Stadium and the older Astrodome lists names of charter PSL (Permanent Seat License) owners that helped fund the new stadium. The listed coordinates should take you to the 4th panel from the left (south) end of the wall. Find the name of the couple that are 7th from the left on the 40th row down from the top of this panel. These people should be just to the right of Jeff & Rita Brownawell. The two first names and the last name of the people in question should total 17 letters (ignore the ampersand "&"). Make note of the letters from left to right, first through seventeenth. To discourage guessing, I'm adding an eightteenth letter which is the first letter in the names directly to the right of the ones in question. Considering the placement in the alphabet of the letters in the names, ie, A=1, B=2, etc., the final cache can be found at:

N29 (13th letter + 15th letter) . 18th letter 6th letter, W095 (5th letter - 10th letter) . 7th letter 11th letter (14th letter - 1st letter)

The final cache is a couple of blocks away, outside of the stadium grounds. You're looking for a nano cache with a log only, so bring your own writing utensil.
