MEDIA INFORMATION
PRACTICE GUIDELINES
MEDIA WEBSITE
Designated Media will be allowed at all practices. During
each practice, the team will use two practice fields.
The area between the two practice fields – where the
scissor lift is located – is off-limits to media, but media can
walk the perimeter of the fields.
Photographers can only cross the covered area if they
are accompanied by a Texans PR representative. Photographers
can shoot selected portions of practice. Tripods
are allowed at practice, however they must be seven
yards from the sideline and behind the line of scrimmage
at all times. Please do not leave tripods unattended. To not
impede the view of the fans at practice, all photographers
must kneel when shooting in front of the stands.
Members of the communications staff will be on the field
during all practices to assist with any questions. During
practices held inside the bubble, all media must stay on
the near sideline.
