The Toyota Center has been home to the Houston Rockets since 2003 and is one of the most modern arenas in the NBA. The venue is located in thriving downtown Houston, Texas and is in close proximity to both NRG Stadium (Houston Texans) and Minute Maid Park (Houston Astros). The Toyota Center could also become home to a future NHL team if the city is ever able to lure one. Our staff wanted to provide a thorough breakdown of the Toyota Center seating chart to help basketball fans decide where to sit before purchasing their Houston Rockets tickets.
