Will the roof at NRG Stadium be open during Super Bowl 51 between the Atlanta Falcons and New England Patriots on Sunday night.
Super Bowl 51 between the New England Patriots and Atlanta Falcons will be starting soon. NRG Stadium in Houston has prepping for the big game for a while now and is one of the best places in the NFL to host the game. They are no stranger to hosting a Super Bowl and will once again get the chance to showcase their beautiful stadium.
One of the questions that many people have asked about the game is whether or not the roof would be open for the Super Bowl. With a retractable roof, NRG Stadium offers a unique experience for watching the game. However, the roof will not be open for the big game.

With the biggest game of the year on tap, it makes sense that the league wants everything to be absolutely pristine. While there’s nothing wrong with the weather in Houston, there’s a certain aesthetically pleasing look to having the roof closed and the lights shining down bright.
The Patriots come into this game aiming to win their fifth Super Bowl in franchise history. With a win, Tom Brady will have the most Super Bowl victories by any quarterback in the history of the game.
The Falcons on the other hand are trying to win their first Super Bowl in league history. This is their second trip as a franchise and they come in with a great offense. Matt Ryan is the league’s MVP and is no stranger to playing indoors. With the roof closed and two great offenses playing, expect plenty of points to be scored in this one.
