Toyota Center

Toyota Center is big, bright, and about as flashy as Houston itself. The place became Harden’s beard sanctuary for nearly a decade, and when the Rockets were firing up threes at record pace, the building felt like a launch pad. These days it’s a bit quieter, but the arena is still top-notch—plenty of space, great sightlines, and concessions that remind you Houston might actually be America’s best food city. Also, you can’t beat the irony of watching millionaires play basketball in an arena named after a company whose cars are all about reliability and affordability.
