Lina Hidalgo, Harris County's top elected official, has expressed concerns about heat issues that she claims were ignored prior to hospitalizations at the FIFA Fan Festival. Hidalgo also stated that she was denied access to NRG Stadium, which is owned by the county, until two days before the World Cup began. Further details about the situation are available from Houston Public Media, including the circumstances surrounding Hidalgo's access to the stadium during the soccer tournament, which is under FIFA control.
