Houston defeated the New York Liberty in the inaugural 1997 championship game and won three more Finals in 1998, 1999, and 2000—the first four seasons the WNBA existed. Cynthia Cooper earned Finals MVP in all four runs; Sheryl Swoopes and Tina Thompson were staples alongside coach Van Chancellor.

Buildings the Comets called home in the attendance data Ticket Timeline uses—useful when an old ticket names a former arena from the Houston years.
Coverage in Ticket Timeline's game data starts in 1997, the year the Comets joined the WNBA as one of the league's original eight franchises. Compaq Center hosted from that inaugural season; Toyota Center from 2004; Reliant Arena covered the folded franchise's final 2008 season.
If your ticket says The Summit, that is the same Houston building later called Compaq Center—not a different arena. Toyota Center and Reliant Arena are separate buildings, not renames.
The Comets folded in December 2008 after the league could not find a buyer. Houston has had no WNBA team since. Cynthia Cooper, Sheryl Swoopes, and Tina Thompson led the league's first dynasty—champions in 1997, 1998, 1999, and 2000, the WNBA's first four seasons—with Van Chancellor on the bench. The 2008 season split home games across three buildings before the franchise ceased operations.
The Houston Comets hosted WNBA games at Compaq Center, Toyota Center, and Reliant Arena in Houston, TX, USA, from 1997 to 2008. Dates for those nights are anchored in Central time. The building list above is what Ticket Timeline uses when an older ticket names a former arena.
Use that timeline when dating a night: Compaq Center (1997–2003) was the first Comets home, often printed The Summit on earlier tickets; Toyota Center (2004–2007) is a different downtown building; Reliant Arena (2008) was the final home in a much smaller building. The last home game was August 30, 2008, at Reliant Arena; the franchise then folded. Rebuilding Comets attendance is usually a scavenger hunt: paper tickets and PDF confirmations, camera-roll scoreboard dates, calendar invites, season-ticket statements, and memory anchors (companions, rivals, life events, arena names on stubs). Work season by season; a partial list of attended games is enough to start matching opponents and arenas. When confirmations live in Gmail, import games you've attended walks through a read-only preview before anything is committed. For a shoebox of stubs, see what to do with old ticket stubs.
Once you've logged Comets games you attended, Ticket Timeline surfaces the attendance story—not a live scoreboard. Visited insights can include Compaq Center (1997–2003), Toyota Center (2004–2007), and Reliant Arena (2008).

Houston has not hosted Comets basketball since 2008. WNBA nights from that era opened at Compaq Center (1997–2003), moved to Toyota Center (2004–2007), and finished at Reliant Arena (2008) before the franchise folded. Use the venue timeline above when an old ticket prints any of those names.
Add Comets games from memory, import a spreadsheet, or scan ticket stubs. Ticket Timeline links each attended game to WNBA context—teams, arenas, players, and notable moments—so nights at Compaq Center, Toyota Center, Reliant Arena, and elsewhere become a browsable Houston Comets archive. Primary focus on this page: a lifetime attendance archive.
Ticket Timeline is for fans reconstructing twelve WNBA seasons of Comets basketball. Keep Compaq Center nights from 1997 to 2003, Toyota Center nights from 2004 to 2007, and Reliant Arena nights from 2008 in an exportable personal archive—not a live-score feed or ticket marketplace.
If your stub says The Summit or Compaq Center, you were at the Comets' first Houston home—the same building the Rockets also used, with WNBA capacity around 16,300. Toyota Center is a different downtown building from 2004 onward. If it says Reliant Arena, that is the much smaller final home from the 2008 season split across three arenas.
