    If you don't mind walking 3 or 4 blocks, park on the street after 6pm and it's free. I've NEVER paid to park for a Rockets or Astros game since the meters are free after 6.

    KNOCK ON WOOD/

    I park outside the law school around San Jac and Polk every night from 5:30 - 9:30 + and have never had a problem...

    Now finding a parking spot during the playoffs will be a different story. I am probably skipping class tonight to avoid the mess.

    I highly recommend the parking garage (across from Josephine's Italian Restaurant) at the intersection of Dallas & Caroline. $5 parking and it's so easy to get in and out. Less than a 5 minute walk from the Toyota Center.

    yes to cameras

    I believe there is a stipulation that says you cant have huge zoom lenses, but regular cameras are fine.

    and as far as parking

    I never pay for parking...last time I got there an hour and 15 minutes before tipoff,a nd found a spot right next to the thirty dollar lot in front of the Toybox on the street about 50 yards from the corner by the front entrance.

    that was luck, I know...but that just goes to show you that free close parking is not a myth.

    and I have never had my car or truck messed with.

    They do allow cameras as long as the lens does not extend to more than 6 inches I believe.

    I've never had one issue with safety and parking on the street. I have been parking at night in downtown for a long time - well before Minute Maid - because I used to rehearse in the warehouse district. I never had problems even then.

    You used to be able to park at the B.U.S., for free, right across(diagonal) from the TC if you went inside and had a drink.

    If you don't mind a short walk, behind (from TC view) Houston House apartments is a $2 lot. The nice part about it is when you leave, you are far enough away from TC traffic isn't an issue. When I've parked closer or in a garage - it's taken twice as long to get out.
