A Legacy

by sohailg , Jan 21 '00
Pros: parking, food, prices of seats
Cons: capacity
Hey all! This is Houstons finest places to go for anything. Whether is sports, music, ice skating, or just to watch shows, its awesome. I go there all the time for the Rockets NBA home games and Aeros games. I even went to one of the Comets championship...

Worth the 4 hour drive!

by summer2205 , Aug 27 '01
Pros: clean, great team spirit and announcing
Cons: hard to get out of- like most sporting arenas
I play basketball and my favorite player is Sheryl Swoopes of the Houston Comets. So for my birthday, my dad treated me to go down to Houston to watch a game. I was thrilled and we loaded up the car for the 4 hour drive to Houston (from Dallas). The...

The summit

by superman22 , Mar 04 '00
Pros: fun
Cons: none
Ok, this is a pretty good place. I have been to it many times seeing how I am origianlly from houston. It is pleasant with your usual high prices for food. At least parking was not bad at all. You better get there early though it is realy tough to...

Love The Summit, err Compaq Center

by chad8246 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Jan 13 '00
Pros: No bad seats, convenient, free parking
Cons: A bit old
I love The Summit. There is not a bad seat in the entire house regardless of what type of event you are attending. I must say that I still refer to Compaq center as The Summit. Much like it will always be Candlestick Park and Riverfront Stadium to...

Oldie but Goodie

by dbhoutx Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Jan 13 '00
Pros: Home to the Comets
Cons: Pawn in the game to make Sports Owners Rich
While the Rocket's arena known now as the Compaq Center, formerly the Summit is a great arena. It works well for so many sports and holds the best luck for our local sports team. The Rockets have two national championships, the Comets three, and the...

All good things...

by sfataxman , Oct 25 '00
Pros: Still a great place to see a game or an event
Cons: Not up to current standards and keeping up with the Jones'
As with all good things, the Summit...err Compaq Center must come to an end...assuming that the new arena referendum passes in 13 days or so.

I have attended various events throughout my lifetime at Compaq Center, ranging from the music...

Older is Better

by kkatz3 , Jan 22 '00
Pros: Good Visibility,Concessions and Parking
Cons: Not a "pretty"arena

The Compaq Center Has been home to the Houston Rockets for what seems like forever. In more recent years The Comets ,Aeros and Thunderbears have joined the ranks of excellent teams to call Compaq home.
Sure it's an old stadium but seems...

A Great Place to Go for any event

by stars123 , Jan 14 '00
Pros: Great place to go for sporting events, easy parking, many concession stands
Cons: High Food prices
The Compaq Center is a great place to go for any sporting event in the Houston area. I have been there about 2 times last year. One was for the NBA Houston Rockets and the other one was for WNBA Houston Comets. From where I sat which was way up to the...

Wish It Were In My Hometown!

by monilark , Aug 08 '00
Pros: inexpensive tickets, good seats
Cons: strange parking arrangements
My favorite WNBA team is the Houston Comets, so, for the two years that we've lived in Dallas, my dear husband has planned a trip to Houston to catch a live game. This is a real treat, in part because of the Compaq Center, and its design.

Time to move on

by phereless , Apr 07 '00
Pros: Still fun to go to, Good basketball team (except for Bryce Drew), Power Dancers
Cons: Old, falling apart, Bryce Drew plays there.
Like Hakeem Olajuwon, it's time to retire this once great establishment.

I enjoy the Compaq Center and still catch games there, but I think it's time for a new basketball arena. The Rockets and Comets in my opinion are certainly more deserving...

Out with the Old, in with the Newrena

by CrazyAditya , Apr 15 '00
Pros: food, parking, people
Cons: seating,
I suppose it's unfair to lay blame on a 25 year old building for not providing the most comfortable of reposes, but Compaq Center in Houston, Texas, is a facility that is aching for renovation and destruction. I recently took in a Houston Rocket's game,...

Summit, Compaq...same old, same old.

by TheJDogg1 , Jan 15 '00
Pros: The Rockets are ok
Cons: The arena SUCKS!
The Summitt, well now Compaq Center, it's okay, but not the greatest arena, in fact a good arena I've been to in the US. I went to see a Houston Rockets game versus the Los Angeles Lakers here in houston. The game was ok, the rockets lossed, becuase they...
