Compaq Center Attendance History

Compaq Center — The Summit on earlier tickets — was the Rockets' home from October 24, 1975, until November 28, 2003. The same building still stands. Ticket Timeline helps you log every Rockets and Comets night you attended there under the name the stub actually carries.

This building is no longer a sports venue

A Summit or Compaq Center stub is not a leftover from a place that no longer matters. The night still happened in this Greenway building, even though basketball does not.

The building opened as The Summit and was the Rockets' home from 1975. The Comets played here from 1997. Later tickets said Compaq Center. Same room, two printed names.

The Rockets' last night here in Ticket Timeline's data is November 28, 2003. The Comets' last night is August 26, 2003. The catalog marks lastEventYear 2003. The building was not demolished.

Lakewood Church occupies the building on the Southwest Freeway. Toyota Center downtown is a different arena — the Rockets' next home, not this footprint.

Why track Compaq Center attendance?

If your stub says The Summit or Compaq Center, that is this same Houston building — still standing as a church, not Toyota Center. Rockets nights here run October 24, 1975 through November 28, 2003. Comets nights run June 28, 1997 through August 26, 2003. Toyota Center is a different downtown barn. Log basketball on the Houston Rockets game tracker and Comets nights on the Houston Comets game tracker.

A Summit stub from the Southwest Freeway is not a Toyota Center night downtown. Ticket Timeline helps you pin each game you attended in this building to the real matchup and roster before both clubs left.

  • Log Rockets and Comets games you personally attended in this building—not Toyota Center.
  • Match tickets printed The Summit to this same Houston arena later called Compaq Center.
  • Keep Hofheinz Pavilion tickets on that earlier Rockets home—not mixed in as this one.
  • Count those games toward your wider NBA and WNBA arena progress.
  • Import old stubs, spreadsheets, or Gmail confirmations instead of retyping every date.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I track games I attended at The Summit or Compaq Center?

Yes. Those names refer to this same Houston building. Log Rockets and Comets games you attended here. The conversion to a church does not erase the box score.

Is Toyota Center the same building as Compaq Center?

No. Toyota Center is a different downtown arena. Rockets nights there start December 18, 2003 in Ticket Timeline's data. Comets nights moved there for 2004–2007 before a final season at Reliant Arena.

Which team page should I use for a Summit ticket?

Use the Houston Rockets game tracker for NBA nights and the Houston Comets game tracker for WNBA nights. This page is the building.

Is the building still standing?

Yes. It still stands on the Southwest Freeway as Lakewood Church. It is catalogued as closed because it no longer hosts sports, even though it was not demolished.

Can I import old Compaq Center ticket stubs or spreadsheets?

Yes. Import a spreadsheet of attended games, scan ticket stubs, or import Gmail ticket confirmations. Ticket Timeline matches entries to NBA and WNBA context so you are not retyping every Compaq Center date.

Does Ticket Timeline sell tickets?

No. Ticket Timeline does not sell tickets. It is a stat tracker for games you've already attended, built to help you explore the players, moments, and milestones you witnessed at Compaq Center.
