The Houston Rockets are a member of the NBA’s Western Conference. The Rockets have won two NBA Championships and four Western Conference titles. The team was founded in 1967 as the San Diego Rockets, but moved to Houston ahead of the start of the 1971-72 NBA season. The 1980-1981 Rockets made a run to the NBA Finals despite posting a losing record in the regular season (having finished 40-42). They were defeated in the finals by the Boston Celtics in six games. In the 1985-1986 season, the Rockets defeated the Los Angeles Lakers in the Western Conference Finals, where they were again matched up against the Boston Celtics, where the Celtics once again defeated the Rockets in six games. The Rockets did not experience playoff success again until 1992-93 season, when under coach Rudy Tomjanovich, a former Rockets player, they won the Midwest Division. The next two seasons would mark the golden era of Rockets basketball. In the 1993-94 season, the Rockets won a then-franchise record 58 games and went on to defeat the New York Knicks in seven games to win their first NBA Championship. The team got off to a slow start in the 1994-95 season, but went on a strong run in the playoffs that culminated in sweeping the Orlando Magic in four games to claim their second consecutive NBA title.

The Toyota Center is located in downtown Houston and has been home to the Houston Rockets since it opened back in 2003. Before 2003, the Houston Rockets had played in The Summit, which was located in a different part of the city. Toyota has been the arena’s sponsor since the arena opened, and its logo is on the roof of the building, which makes it a prominent focal point in aerial shots during televised broadcasts. The Toyota Center has a capacity of 18,055 for a basketball game. The Toyota Center has 2,900 Club Seats, which are located mid-court on the lower level and feature upscale concessions and wide seats. There are additional private Clubs for courtside seat holders such as the Lexus Lounge and Golden Nugget Club. In 2012, the Toyota Center installed a large four panel scoreboard, which is the largest indoor video board in the U.S. The Toyota Center also hosts concerts and other large events.

The Toyota Center is conveniently located in Downtown Houston. The adjacent Toyota Tundra garage provides 2,500 dedicated parking spaces. There is also a dedicated Uber zone for drop-off and pickup in front of the arena’s Bell St. Entrance. Additionally, the Metropolitan Transit Authority of Harris County operates several routes near the Toyota Center for access via public transportation.

For weekday games, gates open one hour before tip-off, and for weekend games, gates open 1.5 hours before tip-off.

The downtown location means there are ample options for food and drinks before entering the Toyota Center. And with the purchase of the Rockets by restauranteur Tilman Fertitta, Landry’s concepts have become available inside the arena itself. Section 114 is home to the Red Rowdies, a group of Rockets superfans created in 2006 that are well known for banging drums, wearing costumes, and chanting. The Clutch City Dancers are one of the most well-known professional dancing teams in the NBA and perform on the court during breaks. The Rockets also have one of the most famous mascots in the NBA, Clutch the Bear, who was introduced in 1995 and inducted into the mascot Hall of Fame in 2006. Outside section 414 on the upper concourse are the Legend Lockers, which have replica lockers displaying jerseys, shoes, and photos of some of the Rockets’ all-time great players. Also on the upper level is the Children’s Memorial Hermann Sky Court, which has plenty of games for kids to play, including skee ball and pop-a-shot.
