All hail Houston's hometown hero, Queen Bey herself.

It's also the 4th largest city in the U.S. -- and growing.

Not to mention that it's the most culturally diverse city in the whole country!

All those people can only mean one thing: lots of sports fans.

Houston's got all the professional major league teams: the Astros (MLB), Texans (NFL), Rockets (NBA), Dynamo (MLS), Dash (NWSL), and Scrap Yard Dawgs (NPF)

And the city's got some serious state-of-the-art stadiums to prove it.

They'll be raising the roof at NRG stadium on February 5th.

Did we mention the winter weather is fantastic?

You won't have to worry about freezing your butt off waiting in line.

And that the food is even better?

With over 12,000 restaurants, Houston is a foodie's dream. And it's been declared one of the greatest eating capitals in America.

This isn't Houston's first rodeo.

In fact, it's the 86th anniversary of the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. But we digress...

The first time Houston hosted the big game was one for the history books.

Two words: Wardrobe malfunction.

You remember it.

So if you're coming to Houston, expect the party to be even bigger and better this year.

And if you don't like football, that's fine. There's plenty of BBQ to keep you busy (and pizza, of course). Welcome to Texas.
