Everything here radiates from the Memorial Hermann Football Operations Center at the west end of TDECU Stadium (3874 Holman St) in Houston's Third Ward. Because UH sits just southeast of downtown, the best high-profile living, dining, and recovery options cluster in EaDo, Midtown, and the Museum District/Medical Center corridor, all 5-15 minutes from the facility. Drive times assume normal Houston traffic; allow extra during rush hour on the 45/69 interchange.
