About Toyota Center

Fan Tips

Toyota Center anchors downtown Houston’s sports scene, serving as home to the Rockets in a modern, centrally located arena.

Located in the heart of the city, the arena is accessible by car, rideshare, and METRORail.

The seating design keeps fans close to the action, and the atmosphere builds during competitive matchups.

Food options reflect Houston’s diverse culinary scene, offering a wide range of choices beyond standard concessions.

After the game, fans can explore nearby downtown districts for dining and entertainment.

Security Screenings

Like almost all US and Canadian Stadiums, you will need to enter through a metal detector before entering the stadium.  Be sure to give yourself extra time and don't bring any weapons or devices that could be seen as a weapon inside.  Pat down searches may be required.

Bag Policy

All bags larger than 14"x14"x6" such as backpacks, suitcases, beach bags, etc. will be prohibited from entry into the arena.  All bags are subject to inspection before entry.

Note: Bag and security policies listed above are for typical sporting events. Special events, concerts, and other situations may result in variations. Please check the event website for any changes.
