Getting to Toyota Center
Houston Rockets · Houston, TX
Toyota Center publishes six driving routes and five of them end identically — south on Fannin Street to Leeland Street, then east to the garage. Transit is the opposite: METRO is named as an operator and nothing else, with no route, no rail line and no stop anywhere on the arena's pages.
Tips & Fan Reports
How safe is the Red Line for games? Totally fine. Tons of people take it for Rockets games. Get off at the Bell station and you are right there. Way easier than driving in Houston traffic.
Five of the six published routes end the same way: south on Fannin Street to Leeland Street, then east to the garage.
From I-10 in either direction you first join another freeway; there is no direct exit.
The arena names no METRO route or rail stop at all, so plan a car-free trip from the operator.
The Toyota Tundra Garage has four colour-coded pass levels with separate entrances on Jackson, Leeland and La Branch Streets — check which your pass wants.
