About Toyota Center Events

For Toyota Center tickets and general venue information, read below.

Located in downtown Houston, the Toyota Center is known primarily as the home of the NBA's Houston Rockets. The arena has seen its share of winning teams, with the Rockets seeing plenty of success throughout the history of the venue. Toyota Center has been open since 2003, and has since seen its fair share of entertainers take the stage there in addition to its extensive experience as the home for sports in Houston.

When people think of the Houston Rockets, they usually think of some successful teams, which makes it easy to remember plenty of success on the basketball court taking place at the Toyota Center. The first wave of successful basketball in the Toyota Center came in the 2000s, when center Yao Ming teamed up with the likes of Tracy McGrady and Dikembe Mutombo who, coached by Jeff Van Gundy, were perennial contenders in the Western Conference.

After that era in Rockets history disappeared, the Rockets returned to prominence once again when the great James Harden and Chris Paul joined forces, with the two dynamic point guards working together to make the Rockets one of the best teams in the NBA once again. With an identity focused on transition basketball and three point shooting, coach Mike D'Antoni made this version of the Rockets one of the most fun teams in the history of the NBA.

In addition to the litany of exciting basketball games that have taken place at Toyota Center, the venue also has a long track record of bringing in top musical talents to perform there. From classic artists like the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Guns N' Roses, to current artists like Rihanna and Drake, there has been no shortage of a-list talent lining up to play at the Toyota Center, making it a venue that can be enjoyed year round.
