Section 401 at Toyota Center

Lackluster views but great food — Don't expect great views of the court from Section 401. Aside from the long distance down to the floor, the basket blocks out the middle of the lane and you can't see anything at the top of the key. If you're sitting back in the seats and the fans just in front at row 9 are leaning forward at all, it will also be difficult the see anything along the near baseline. One saving grace is the great viewing position to the large videoboard that faces directly at the seats.

But the best part about sitting here is the great food located just behind the seats. At Row 10 it was a short 4 row walk to get to the concourse, which had a lot of great options to choose from as well as good restroom access. Some of the more notable items on the menus nearby included kimchi burritos, spicy korean beef tacos, and multiple different nacho options.

Better than having to walk down to first row — The view from behind the basket is not so great. The view of the other end of the court is pretty good (the Rockets shoot there in the 3rd and 4th quarters), but the view of the near basket is really obstructed by the hoop.

The entrance to the section is in the top row, so you only have to walk down about 7 or 8 rows to your seats. The walk down to the front row would be much worse.

Two sections away there is a very diverse stand of food: tacos, asian, stadium food and a creamery. I had the korean bbq and they took at least ten minutes to come out. But they were worth the wait! Water was more expensive than a Red Bull, which should be a crime.
