Houston Texans fans love their team no matter the circumstances, such to the level NRG Stadium has the seventh-highest fill rate in the NFL.

According to attendance records from ESPN.com, the Texans had 101.0 percent attendance at NRG Stadium in 2017, a season where the club won only three home games as part of their 4-12 finish. Home games averaged 71,774 attendance and 574,197 people bought tickets to see the Texans play.

The numbers are particularly impressive when considering rookie sensation Deshaun Watson played seven games before going to injured reserve in early November and superstar defensive end J.J. Watt, who had raised over $37 million for Hurricane Harvey victims toward the end of the preseason, only played five games for the Texans. Halfway through the schedule, there were less exciting reasons to come to Texans home games.

Visiting teams whose fans travel well may have played some factor into the NRG Stadium’s attendance. Three teams in the top-10 in road attendance, the Kansas City Chief (fifth), Cleveland Browns (eighth), and Pittsburgh Steelers (ninth), were the away team against the Texans in 2017.

However, when taking a look at the trend over the past 10 seasons, it reveals it can’t all be opposing teams whose fans travel well spiking the attendance data.

According to Casino.org, which took a look at the ESPN.com from 2008-17, the Texans are actually seventh in the NFL in that span in terms of stadium fill rate at 100.5 percent. That is pretty impressive when considering A) the Texans were hardly a decade old a quarter of the way into that data, B) they suffered a horrendous 2-14 season midway through the time frame, and C) Houston only posted six winning seasons, four playoff appearances, and three playoff wins in that time frame.

Speaking of playoffs, there was only a 0.7 percent difference in stadium fill rate over the 10 seasons when considering if Houston did or did not qualify for the playoffs. In other words, the fill rate for playoff-qualifying years was 100.9 percent compared to 100.2 for non-playoff seasons. Winning or not, fruitful postseason pursuits or a barren wasteland of failed playoff hopes, it made little difference to Texans fans.

As the Texans prepare to overcome their 4-12 mark and lay the foundation for a playoff team in training camp next month, Houston fans will undoubtedly support their team regardless of where they stand come January 2019.
