The Houston Rockets play all of their National Basketball Association home games at the Toyota Center. This is the first time the team has had a new stadium since they moved into the Compaq Center in 1975. The team spent 27 seasons playing there and made it to three NBA Finals and winning two of them. The stadium played host to such Rockets greats as Calvin Murphy, Clyde Drexler, Moses Malone, Hakeem Olajuwon and Rudy Tomjanovich. Another great player, Charles Barkley, also called the Compaq Center home during for four of his 16 Hall of Fame seasons in the NBA.

The Toyota Center doesn’t just host all the Rockets action packed games. The Toyota Center is also the backdrop for all of the Houston Comets WNBA home games. The team has won multiple WNBA championships since the league started play and has been the home of great players like Sheryl Swoops.
