The Venue – Knowing that a deeper foundation puts fans closer to the action, the architects sank the lower bowl, which comprises 60 percent of the seating, 32 feet below ground level.

As a concert venue it is questionable
by steveraschilla
Eric Clapton was great, great choice of songs, great band and everyone played/sang with energy and precision. Sat is section 113, sound quality was terrible, worst in Houston since the Stones opened Reliant. There is no excues for poor sound quality. Toyota Center may be great for sports events but don't go for a concert unless your can sit close enough to hear directly from the monitors on stage. Clapton's folks working the sound boards made improvements after the first 4-5 songs but overall, sound was worse than Rockets old summit home.
- Pros: Easy access
- Cons: Could have parked right across the street for $5 less...don't pre-buy parking with your tickets. Service charges for concert tickets very high.
