Common questions about hiring staff for Houston stadiums and sports events

The HLSR is Houston’s largest annual event with average 50,000 daily attendance over 20 days. NRG requires 300–400 staff per day for registration, parking (5,000+ vehicles), merchandise, food, and ground crew. TempGuru has been primary staffing partner for 8+ years, recruiting and training 1,000+ people annually for the Rodeo.
What training is required for credential badge management staff at Toyota Center events?
TempGuru provides 30-minute credential training covering badge scanning, access point protocols, and Toyota Center security procedures. No prior experience needed. Staff learn badge scanner systems, access level verification, and incident reporting. Recurring staff become highly efficient on the system within 2–3 events.
Can TempGuru staff both Houston Dynamo and Dash games at Shell Energy Stadium?
Yes. TempGuru maintains recurring teams for Dynamo men's and Dash women's games throughout MLS seasons. Many staff work both teams’ games. Block season contracts available with volume discounts. Cross-training for credential management, food service, and concourse allows flexible deployment.
