Toyota Center is located in Houston’s downtown entertainment district, within walking distance of public transport links and adjacent urban amenities.

• Opening and use: Opened in 2003, the arena is the home court of the NBA’s Houston Rockets and regularly hosts concerts, sporting events and conventions.

Toyota Center sits in downtown Houston at 1510 Polk Street, within the downtown loop. It’s within easy walking distance of Houston’s central business district and convention area; many downtown hotels are a 5-15 minute walk. By car, take I‑45 or I‑69/US‑59 into downtown and follow signs for downtown/Convention Center - parking is available at the arena. Public transit: Houston METRO light rail has downtown stops (Main Street / Convention District area) within a 5-15 minute walk, and numerous METRO bus routes serve the downtown area.

• Use Houston's METRORail to reach downtown and walk the short distance to the Toyota Center to avoid downtown event traffic and parking searches on game or concert nights.
• Arrive 45-60 minutes before doors to pass security at a relaxed pace and catch pre-show plaza activities; check the venue's official site for gate assignments so you enter at the correct entrance for your ticket.
• Confirm the event's bag and security policies in advance on the Toyota Center website so you aren't delayed or turned away at entry.
