(SportsRadio 610) - With both Houston's professional baseball and football teams scheduled to play at the same time Thursday night, the Texans plan to provide updates for the Astros-Phillies World Series Game 5, as they host the Philadelphia Eagles at NRG Stadium.
The Texans will provide score updates, rotating the baseball score on the stadium's videoboard side panels throughout the game.
Normally, NRG Stadium features the NFL scoreboard. But with the Texans and Eagles being the only team playing, and Astros-Phillies going at the same time, the stadium will instead provide baseball updates. Texans TV and radio host Drew Dougherty will also occasionally drop in with Astros game, score and big play updates.
Throughout the concourse level, any TV that would normally show other NFL games will instead show World Series Game 5. Texans officials estimate they will be able to feature the Astros game in more than 50 percent of the televisions throughout the NRG Stadium.
The Astros evened the World Series on Wednesday night with just the second no-hitter in World Series history. Meanwhile, the Texans are 1-5-1, facing the Eagles (7-0), the NFL's only undefeated team.
