Houston Dynamo Introduces RightHear System for Accessibility

HOUSTON (June 24, 2025) – Houston Dynamo FC and The Lighthouse of Houston announced a multi-year partnership today, making Shell Energy Stadium the first professional venue in North America to install the RightHear Accessibility system. This initiative will make the stadium fully accessible for individuals who are blind or visually impaired during all events.
