Houston Texans football is right around the corner.
Evidently, fans are excited.
Texans Training Camp tickets sold out in a record six minutes on Wednesday, with all allotted passes being claimed via HoustonTexans.com and Ticketmaster. The tickets and open practice dates, listed here, became available to the public at 10 am CT, and were completely sold out by 10:06. Thousands were snatched up by fans in that short time period, eclipsing last year's mark of 10 minutes before being sold out.
Some training camp tickets remain, as spots for Academy's 'Youth Day' on August 11 are still available. Those tickets will be available exclusively at participating Houston-area Academy Sports Outdoors locations tonight after 7 pm. To see the list of stores, click here.
