Tips & Fan Reports
What fans who park here actually do, and what it cost them.
If you go about an hour early you can sometimes find free street parking near Toyota Center. Use the side entrance across from the Rockets parking garage instead of the main one - way faster entry.
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.
For concerts and other events, reserve Tundra parking through the event ticket flow or email.
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.

Getting There
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.
- Driving
- The arena is at 1510 Polk Street. From US-59 north, exit Gray Ave/Pierce Ave, north on Gray Street to San Jacinto Street, north to Leeland Street then east. From US-59 south, exit Jackson Street, south to Congress Street, west to Fannin Street, south to Leeland then east. From I-45 north, exit Houston Ave/Memorial Drive, north on Memorial to Rusk Street, east to Fannin, south to Leeland then east. From I-45 south, exit McKinney Street east to Fannin, south to Leeland then east. From I-10 east, take I-45 south then the McKinney Street exit and the same route. From I-10 west, take US-59 south downtown, exit Hamilton Street south to Congress, west to Fannin, south to Leeland then east. The Toyota Tundra Garage has four colour-coded pass levels with separate entrances on Jackson, Leeland and La Branch Streets.
- Public Transit
- The Metropolitan Transit Authority of Harris County runs routes near the arena, but the arena names no route and publishes no stop. It gives METRO's number, 713-635-4000, and a link. Plan that leg from METRO's own map.

Not yet checked against a published source
These figures are estimates. Most venues no longer publish the numbers behind them (concession and ticket pricing moved to dynamic marketplaces), so we hold them as estimates rather than dating them as verified.
- Parking prices: Never checked against a published rate: the venue's parking page, read 2026-09-05, publishes none. The 2,500-space Toyota Tundra Garage is cashless and reservations are recommended, with no figure. The 2026-07-27 figures were compiled from third-party listings (was: "Toyota Center 2026: game day parking $20-$30; the official Toyota Tundra Garage is passholder-only on Rockets game days, other official lots $15-$25").
