Toyota Center
Houston, TX · Arena
Houston keeps it simple. Toyota Center does not require a clear bag. Any bag, purse, or tote up to 10 by 6 by 2 inches gets in, clear or not, so a Rockets game or a concert is easy to pack for. The arena does ask fans to travel light, and the fewer bags you carry, the faster you move through the dedicated bag lanes.
Backpacks are the main thing left at home, along with anything bigger than the 10 by 6 by 2 inch limit. If you bring more than that, Toyota Center is cashless and has $10 Binbox lockers in the Tundra Garage. Diaper bags and medical bags are welcome and may be searched on the way in.
