There are amounts nfl donates for new stadium. Know rodeo and others aren't happy with harris county and upgrades , maintenance not being done

Correct. HLSR’s lease is up in 2032 and they’re displeased with the county misplacing their checkbook. I think theres a quid pro quo between HLSR and the county. HLSR will look the other way on the county violating their lease in exchange for autonomy. Each party gets along pretty well and they have mutual goals. I’m sure they’ll work it out. HLSR has some nuclear options outlined upthread. 

i believe the current preference is spend $2 billion on upgrading NRG Stadium and Center. 
 

There’s a cool plan for NRG Arena, but no dollar figure yet. Level 1 that building does in fact suck.I have no idea how they’d slam a 8,500 seat venue in the current footprint, but I’ll buy the other bullet points.  https://www.chron.com/business/article/nrg-arena-designs-houston-20024540.php
