My first time at an NBA game and I loved it! We had great seats - Section 107 row 18 was not too far back from the court and a view from the middle (and front). There was clearly an audience front even though the stadium is 360 and we were in one of the front sections. Great entertainment value with lots going on visually. Fun game. Took about 15 minutes to get through security/front doors when we arrived at 6PM (door opening time). Parking nearby was $40 but rideshare dropped us off right near the line to get in. read more

It's always a thrill to go watch the Houston rockets play at the Toyota center. This match up was against the Dallas mavericks and the rockets did win by almost 20 points. It gets very loud at the Toyota center with fans constantly cheering and screaming and rooting for their home team. Plus u have the rowdy rudies who are constantly shouting chanting slogans, keeping the fans in the game. The half time show is a lot of fun to watch with different contests going and usually a half court shot. At this game they had a battle of bands. Also there was aerobic show of dunks. They also had the rockets power girls dancing away and putting up a show. Throughout the game, there is constant interaction with the fans and all of it is displayed on the big titan tron tv screens. Also around third quarter, the cheer leaders bring fan gear and souvenirs and throw them in the stands for fans to catch. It's a lot of fun to attend a game and I highly recommend other yelpers to attend. Plus plenty of food and drinks and souvenir shops, make it a worthwhile visit for all the fans. Go rockets!!! #clutchCity read more

If you're a Rockets fan and you rate anything lower than a five, I will call you a bandwagon fan! YES, I'm looking at you bandwagon fans!!! If you're a true fan, you would stick with your team through the good and the bad. It's true that since the two championships, the Rockets haven't been to competitive. But owner Leslie Alexander has been doing pretty much everything in his power to bring the glory days back to Houston. Head chef Beard is always cooking in the house. Superman is still flying. Maybe not as high, but still flying. Threeza is hot and cold on offense. But always hot on defense. Cheetah Brewer is always a spark off the bench. JSmoove needs to practice his free throws. Come on, bro! DMo and Beverley - hurry back!! The Rockets could do without D - Dorsey, that is. The Jet is still frustrating opponents with them threes. #rednation #pursuit #underdogs read more

I love going to Toyota Center but can y'all get some carbonation in your drinks. They are expensive and gross. All season for 2 years it's been like this. ... and the Rockets are struggling so atleast let me enjoy the food and drink. read more

First time at Toyota center and first Houston Rockets game! We were balling at a vendor's suite! Great view, free cocktails, free food, you can't top that! We also had #3 parking , so we parked up by the sky bridge. First time at this Arena and man, it is nice compared with Staples center, massive screens and great speaker system! The Rockets were trainling the Spurs by 14 points Q1, but made a great comeback by Q3, and eventually defeating the Spurs 97 to 90! read more

I have been a season ticket holder about 3 years. Each year I elevate my seats. While I'm not a Rockets fan (Lakers all day) I enjoy the sport and I really enjoy the fan experience. Rocket fans are die hard and have fun. I meet people every year and I have a great time. Considering a fourth year maybe court-side . Even when the game sucks the experience holds you over. read more

Whatever you do, avoid Jessica the box office supervisor at all cost. She was extremely dismissive, unprofessional, and plain old nasty. I had the worst time and she made me miss half the game and suggested I get a refund and leave the building because of her incompetency! read more

The Rockets and their owner have made some good moves in the last few months. It appears they're doing a rebuild which is sorely needed. Sometimes a new broom sweeps clean. Get rid of Hardin, start building a solid core, and look for over achievers, and this team could be a contender in three years The Fakers are over hyped, the Celtics ( my team ) are half baked, and the 76 ers are due for a brief run. Could the Rockets build a dynasty- you betcha.I have a rooting interest because, Fertitta, ( Rockets owner) , is the most likely suitor to bring the NHL to Houston. Should that happen, I'll be a season ticket holder. Market wise, the Rockets have unveiled their newest jersey design, which is reminescent of the old Oilers jersey.This is a genius idea, as the Texans have disappointed time and time again, and people remember the old " Oiler Blue". read more

Came to the game to hang out with some friends and had a blast. The club seats are always the best. No crowd and the restrooms are always clean. Also at half time the Lexus Lounge offers an exclusive touch and you don't have to fight the crowds. It's definitely worth the money to watch the game in this fashion. read more

I love attending Houston Rockets' games! I always have a blast! I try to go to a few games per season and although you have to spend at least $100 per seat if you want good seats, you will get your money's worth! I really just love the energy at the games. I love all the entertainment they schedule during time outs and half time. I think they do a great job of keeping people happy. I always get a million surveys after the games, so they are really interested in making their fans happy. One day I was walking to the restroom and was asked to participate in a Pantene segment during the third quarter! I got to walk through the court and cheering a little , I got two free shirts out of that! Woo hoo!! I am definitely a fan and wish I could go to more games!!! read more

The Houston Rockets are a good entertainment option for sports fans, mild fans, and families. The Toyota Center is a great venue in terms of all seats having good views and being very comfortable (padded even in the upper decks). Before the game there is plenty to do, either watch the teams warm up or check out the kids games zone on the upper deck (east side of the arena I think). The Rockets themselves are one of the better teams so the game action is always what you're there for. During the timeouts, there is always entertainment by Clutch the mascot as well as the Rockets Power dancers. Even halftime goes by fast with half court shots by Clutch and more Power Dancers and/or another act. There's also a band of "Red Rowdies" that sit in the east stands that are leading cheers and getting the crowd, well, rowdy (in a very family friendly way, they are sponsored by the team with tryouts). Parking can be tough since the Toyota Center is tucked between other popular attractions like Discovery Green, the George R. Brown convention center, and even the Pavilions area. You might pay $10 and still have a few blocks to walk. If you're willing to walk 6 or more blocks you can find free parking. The area is very safe even at night with a strong police presence and lots of other fans walking around. As usual, concessions are steep, assume $10 per beer or $6 - $9 for hot dogs, burgers, etc. I wish all venues would lower these prices, but people like me seem willing to pay them, so why would they? If you haven't checked out a Rockets game but are thinking about it, give them a try and bring your family. The prices are such you can't do it every game, but a couple of times a year would make for a good family outing or even guys night out. Unlike baseball, the games end before 10p so everyone can get to bed at a reasonable time! read more

As a Celtics fan I can proudly say I'll support the Rockets in anyway possible (except when they play the C's). Hey I don't like the Lakers either. When I heard about the MLK day deal, I had to go. For $20 I got a ticket in the upperlevel, which despite cramped seating the view wasn't too bad, a free hotdog and beer. Not too shabby and what made it even better was this free beer wasn't some small cup but a 16oz Miller Lite plastic bottle. I was shocked and happy at the same time. The Rockets have a good team and on this day they took on the Milwaukee Bucks, a team that isn't having a great year. Although this is a game I thought the Rockets should win easily, it actually was close and they had to beat the Bucks in OT to win it (thankfully Ridnour missed a wide open three that would of sent it to double OT). Outside of the actually basketball there were some other interesting moments they had between quarters. First was a baby race. Yes you read that right, baby race. What does this baby race entail? Well one parent at one side of the track while another at the finish. Place the baby on the starting line and when the buzzer sounds, the first baby to cross the line wins. Yup. I watched four babies crawl on a mat. People around me screamed for red, blue, orange, and yellow. I couldn't help but get into it as well; as if I was at the race track with 100 bucks riding on red (yellow was the winner that day). Aside from baby racing they have the usual dancers known as the Power Dancers. Although I find it funny that during they game they have them set up in two different corners that you aren't looking for them you probably won't even notice. The last thing I will add was on this day I was treated to a halftime performance by former American Idol winner Fantasia. Yeah...I guess she has a new VH1 show coming out soon. I wasn't a fan. Final point. If you aren't big into basketball but still want to check out a game you can probably get some cheap tickets and do so. I recommend it. If you would like to see some of the action I caught on film that day, watch my video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zTAJEaj7teI read more

I went to my first game last night (Rockets vs Warriors). And to be honest I am a Cali-based fan. I like almost all Cali teams except for a few. I was hesitant on sporting my team, because of run ins I've had at other professional sporting events. And to be honest I was surprised. The people I sat next too were so nice, fist bumping and drinking a beer. Maybe I looked too much into it, but everyone was cool, respectful and was just there to have a great time. read more

Rockets, you break my heart as a team but I will always support you. I was a season ticket holder from 2006-2010. Les Alexander always seemed to try to improve the team but I wasn't happy with the cuts in the in game amenities to commit to another season. The final straw was when he raised my season prices only to cut the single tickets prices in the latter half of the season because no one was going. Coming back tonight for the first playoff game in 4 years, I was happy to see the upgrades to Toyota especially the new big screen and the 46 years of tradition video that highlight past rocket plays rather than single out Rocket players where they don't slight any missing Rocket greats. I can no longer commit to going to every game but I will try to at least watch every game on TV. Even with the CSN debacle. read more

What exactly am I supposed to be reviewing? The Toyota Center itself has its own Yelp page to review, so i guess I'm critiquing the team itself? The Rockets, from my complete non expert but loyal Houstonian perspective, are a great team. Picking up Howard was a good call and I think him and the beard will continue to gel and bring this team up as a contender for playoffs. Big grumble at the moment is choking once we get there, like we've done in the past. I of course would love to see a return of clutch city. Watching a Rockets game is a fun experience. They do a good job of filling downtime with dance routines, fan involved competitions and t-shirt cannon blasting. Concessions are steep but that's probably on the Toyota Center's side of blame. Tickets range fairly well in price and I feel that, if you really want to go to a game, you should be able to afford a ticket somewhere in the arena, especially if it's a bad match up. Good times and, hey, it's your only NBA option in Houston. read more

The stadium is probably one of the best in America. The team is getting better. I can't wait to see the Rockets win something again. I'm new in town, but I have to confess that I've been always a fan of the Rockets since Olajuwon. The stadium is super efficient. Good parking close to it. Close to different freeways. The food inside is absolutely great and it's not that expensive compare to other stadiums like staples center. Houston is growing and their sports arenas are growing as well to another level read more

We are big fans of Jeremy Lin. We went to Houston Rockets many times on 2012 to 2014. My favorite seat section is #409. It is something I can afford. Actually, watching games in the Rockets field is not an enjoyable thing. The seat are small and to close to the other one. No place to put my drink. The floor is always sticky. I don't like Toyota Center. It can be better. read more

I am on the fence to love or hate the new jersey. It brings me back to clutch city. driving up and down westhimer and richmond waving a broom through the sunroof of my pops 88 supra...chicks flashing a teenager before the ggw existed...it brings us back to a magical time of winning. not that the rockets cant win, but everyone has a question mark on our superstars we have been blessed with the talent that has graced the houston hardwood. now, we have a team of random roll players. it will be exciting to see what they have to offer for this years campaign to the post season greeting to the newbies on the roster: taylor, budinger andersen, and ariza! let the debate begin regarding the cut, color and style of the new threads. read more

I took the kiddos to the Rockets game the night before Thanksgiving and we had a blast!! The tickets were cheaper b/c of a group rate but I would highly recommend getting a pass for the parking garage too. It's soo much closer and easier to get in and out. All the nearby lots are about $15 and kinda shady (at least for a women and two kids at night). The Toyota Center is a very appealing space, nicely laid out and signs are especially helpful. The lady who rang us up for ice creams was so extremely kind that after she commented about how polite my kids were, my daughter commented that "she's so nice!!". read more

The Houston Rockets are are decent NBA team... They're are pretty consistent team, although this year they are in jeopardy of not making the playoffs... And if they do make it, it's very likely they'll be eliminated quickly... This team isn't terrible, but not great either.... I'm sure they'll be better in the near future. read more

Friend took me here for a company event at the Presidential Suite. It was huge it could probably have fit at least 100 people! There was a buffet line and a personal bar with free alcohol as well. I guess free for us but not the company (true story!). Anyways there is the main floor and there are stairs to walk down to another level and be at the lower level. The food was mediocre but lets be real we are here for the game and not really the food. I had a great time and we actually won that game against the Spurs. The only bad thing is that there is only one elevator that takes you up to that floor and it takes forever to get on. There is so many people and its hard. The bathroom too could use some remodeling especially if people are spending that much money. Other than that I have no complaint. read more

So, today I went to my first Rocket's game and really all the thanks goes to the Kasendora Williams for hooking up the corporate rate as I was able to get the group discount seats for $35 each. Otherwise, I would be sitting in the seats that are like 1 mile up above the court. So, considering that my in-laws leave the country tomorrow, I took them as a farewell present to a Rocket's game. Am I a cheap bastard or a true dollar connoisseur- you decide. Listen, I cannot help draw comparisons to the King's game that I went to in Sacramento at the Arco Arena considering that Alderman was the King's coach and now he's coaching the rockets. Damn you, Rick, you transplanted to Houston before me. In any case, the Houston Toyota Center stadium is the nicest stadium that I've ever been to. Not that I'm well traveled or anything, but they've really got a nice looking set here. The Rockets played the Nuggets and barley won. It was a tough ride and they won by 3. I have been now converted and my wife and I are now fans. We will be back, and for $35 you will find us in section 113 on any given day of the week rooting for our favorite basketball team. Go Rockets! Kid warning: The lady in front of us had a kid and the kids (much older, granted) were swearing and she was pretty offended. Careful with your kids, I would say, but that's a given I think at any live sporting event where alcohol is served. read more

Well, I've yet to review a professional sports team...so here goes it. Things aren't looking too good for the Rockets these days. Yao Ming will probably miss most, if not all the season. No one likes league chinadoll, Tracy McGrady anymore. Most fans seem stuck on the glory days of old (really, how old were you in 1995? Its been that long!) And the team is losing free agents to Greece (bye-bye Von Wafer) of all places. Bereft of anything resembling a star player, this team is a sprained ankle away from a complete overhaul and will struggle to make the playoffs this year in an always rugged Western Conference. And that's not just me talking. Listen to what the GM has to say... "I think we're going to have a tall task ahead of us to be a playoff team. I think that is the goal for us. The history of teams with no All-Stars making playoffs is pretty limited." ~ Rockets general manager Daryl Morey. Talk about optimism! Its no wonder they aren't featured on national television this year, as of yet. Hopefully, this team can rebuild around players that don't cripple their hopes with season-ending injuries every year and take that next step toward contention. And soon. read more

As of today, 22-0 streak...without Yao?! Congratulations! I'm a die hard Suns fan but you guys are damn impressive!! _________________________ 3/18/08 Okay, so the streak is over.

This review isn't for the team or for the organization but for your radio announcers who are currently on Sirius XM announcing RIGHT NOW for the game against the Sacramento Kings. I've been traveling and newsflash I'm listening to you. I don't appreciate you dissing the Kings at all. I know we aren't perfect but you two are awful at announcing. Do you talk smack about all the other teams too? And who cares what the players look like? " 2 points scored by the heavily tatted MATT Barnes" WORST description I've EVER heard in regards to a player...was it accurate yes but not professional at all. And then talking smack about how a month ago the kings let Cousins have the night off for whatever reason, and how he's only 26 WHO CARES he got he night off. I had to turn off the game and just get updates on my phone... I couldn't handle listening to you two buffoons give the play by plays. Don't like hearing my team get made fun of. Sadly this makes me think lesser of the rockets organization. Get new announcers!!! read more

It's Roooooooocket's ball! Don't sit next to me, or you're going to have to listen to me say that all game long. Rockets games are the perfect family event. If you get there early, the kids can meet Clutch who makes them feel awesome. Get your gear at the Rockets store--they have everything! Make a loop around the stadium and check out everything there is to do! There's Clutch's handler doing a trivia contest (it's hard trivia!) to win free t-shirts. On the upperlevel, there's a kid's zone. Also, you'll notice all the yummy things to eat. You can't go wrong with any of them. Also, the new scoreboard is awesome! Be sure to get to your seats early to catch the player introductions (huge production) and stay late for the tshirt toss (late in the 4thQ). Go Rockets! read more

The Houston Rockets - 2010 NBA Champions. Count on it! Yao will hurt, but with T-Mac coming back mid-season and a slew of great defensive players and the quickness of Brooks and the tenacity of Ariza, we will surprise the NBA. And maybe then we will have a national TV game. read more

Great new stadium, mediocre team. They're trying (Jeremy Lin!) but are still a couple of stars away from competing at the top level. And their current logo and uniforms are terrible. If the Astros can go back to the orange H-star, the Rockets should bring back the red and gold basketball logo and uniforms. The luxury boxes are very nice, though I have little to compare them with, as I am usually in the "regular joe" seating. Not sure if there's much to do in the area, as we took a bus in and out. Would be fun to check it out next time. The big video screen is helpful, but tends to distract from watching the actual game. The food stands didn't seem too appealing as I walked around during halftime. The problem with lots of expensive seating and luxury boxes is a more corporate, and thus sedate, crowd--not nearly as loud here as it was in the Summit. read more

Great hometown team. Always fun to go watch play. Every time is a fun time. Easy accessible stadium for parking

Going to see the rockets play is one of my all-time favorite things to do. The players are very entertaining, and very nice.

LETS GO ROCKETS! clap, clap... clap clap clap....yeah we lost last night to the Nets but hey, they tried. Harden couldn't get the ball in the net at all to save the game at the last minute but my boys tried. WE got this Rockets. You want to go to a hype game no matter who they play against then go to a Houston Rockets game. The Texas (Houstonian) pride comes out and you feel the love always. Well, except when they about to lose and people start walking out. But I know we have true to heart die hard fans who always have the Rockets back. Last night the entire game and in betweens were dedicated to our veterans. Thank you veterans for serving our country and protecting our freedoms. This has been the first game I have attended for the season and was really hoping for a win. Thornton has been an awesome addition to the Rockets team and hope he keeps it up for the rest of the season. We making play offs and finals 2016. We can do it!
