NRG Arena has a capacity of about 8.000.The Largest Stadiums in Texas
Kyle Field is the largest stadium in Texas. It is owned and located within Texas A&M University and serves as the home field for the Texas A&M Aggie football team. It has a seating capacity of 102,995, making it the fourth largest in the country and the fifth largest non-racing stadium in the world. Although the stadium has the largest regular seating capacity, it is overshadowed by AT&T Stadium, which has a larger overall capacity including a standing bay. The stadium's record attendance of 110,631 was achieved on October 11, 2014, when Texas A&M lost a home match to the Ole Miss Rebels.

...about 70,000.
Its all about conflation.
But he never filled large venues even in 2016.
I remember the rally he held in Mobile, Alabama. He had it at a football stadium that had about 40,000 seats total. He filled a little less than half of it, but by using tight camera shots he claimed it was full.
Not that 15,000 is a bad crowd but never let that get in the way of a Trump crowd manipulation.
