Houston's 10 Best Places to See Celebrities During Super Bowl Week

The Super Bowl is going down at NRG Stadium on Sunday, February 5. Perhaps you’ve heard. There are some guarantees anytime a Super Bowl comes to town. Traffic will increase, hotel rates will spike and local eateries and bars will experience an influx of business. The two best teams in the league will face off, and many of their fans will descend upon the host city to root on their team.

Another thing is guaranteed during Super Bowl week – there will be celebrity sightings, and there will be many of them. These are ten places in and around town you’re likely to see a famous person or two leading up to the Big Game.

CLUB NOMADIC
Club Nomadic is basically a traveling pop-up musical venue that shows up at major events like the Super Bowl and offers up some name-brand talent. This year, the venue is hosting Sam Hunt and the Chainsmokers on Thursday and Bruno Mars on Friday. Tickets aren’t cheap, but that’s to be expected. Taylor Swift will headline a Super Bowl Eve gig at Club Nomadic, but that one is invite-only, so good luck getting in. For those fortunate enough to score a ticket/invite, and in addition to the celebrities who will actually perform, you can expect Club Nomadic to feature its fair share of celebrities in town to run elbows and cut loose.

DISCOVERY GREEN
Downtown is essentially Super Bowl central in the week leading up to the big game. In addition to Super Bowl Live concerts from the likes of Blue October, ZZ Top, Gary Clark Jr. and Solange – which begin on January 28 and run through Super Bowl Sunday – Discovery Green is serving as the broadcast home for Fox Sports 1. That means that a number of the network’s major shows – including the Skip Bayless/Shannon Sharpe vehicle, Undisputed – will air live from Discovery Green. In addition to the Fox talent on display (the network is airing this year’s Super Bowl), these shows will feature a number of celebrity guests, some of whom stick around to mingle with those in the crowd.
