Question Media Parking at the Toyota Center - 01-20-2011, 04:21 PM


Shooting the Rockets for the remainder of the season, but I haven't managed to find out if there's media parking. Anyone shot in there know the answer?

When you pick up your pass, they will give you a parking pass for the garage.

There is a loading zone you can park in on LaBranch. Left lane. Park there TAKE YOUR KEYS! and run to the media door. They will start handing out passes two hours before game time.

Dinner is $7 and is not the greatest media meal I have ever had.

Appreciate the info Thomas, you're the best, I'll see you there. How does it stack up against the Astros media dinner

No, just set the cruise control really slow and use a bungeee cord to lash the wheel all the way to one side.

Passes for non-sporting events are always handled by the promoter
