My Recommendation on Parking + Experience with SpotHero
I’ve been using SpotHero for years to save money on stadium parking. From my experience, I tend to save about 30% (or more) on parking just by choosing a lot that is about ten minutes from my destination. Most parking lots and garages next to an area are going to be marked up since it is a short walk from there to the venue. I always try and save money whenever I’m going to a game since the tickets and food are expensive, and parking is one of those ways to do that.
If you want to save money on parking, definitely consider using the SpotHero listing above and see where the more affordable parking options are at.
Toyota Center Handicap Parking Spots
There are ADA parking spots for fans to use at Toyota Center at the Toyota Tundra parking garage. Accessible parking is also available at private surface lots on Clay St. Finally, ADA parking spots fill up quickly, so use SpotHero above to reserve a space before driving to the arena.
Can you Tailgate in the Parking Lots?
There is no official tailgating in the parking lots at Toyota Center, but there are plenty of bars nearby to visit. Some bars include Lobby Bar, 1600 Bar and Grille, and Jet Lounge. In addition to those bars, fans also visit Reserve 101, Pete’s Dueling Piano Bar, and Tejas Grill & Sports Bar before and after a game.
Also, be sure to check out the Toyota Center food guide before your next visit! Along with that, visit the Toyota Center Bag Policy Guide to see what bags can come into the venue for game and other events.
Should I Take Public Transportation?
There are plenty of public transportation ways to get to the basketball arena in Houston. The Metropolitan Transit Authority of Harris County has multiple lines running to and from the venue. In addition to the bus, fans can use Uber or Lyft to get to and from the site. The official pickup and drop off area at Toyota Center is on Bell Street.
