The Compaq Center, once named The Summit was a basketball and hockey arena in Houston, Texas. The arena, named after computer manufacturer Compaq under a naming rights arrangement, housed the Houston Comets, Houston Aeros, and Houston Rockets until fall 2003. The sports teams left this stadium in favor of the new Toyota Center in downtown Houston. This was the first sports arena in the Houston area to be named under a naming rights agreement; in 2000, Reliant Energy, under a naming rights arrangement, renamed the Astrodomain (Houston Astrodome, Astrohall, and Astroarena) as Reliant Park. The Compaq Center is located in the Greenway Plaza complex. With the sports teams gone, Lakewood Church plans to convert the arena into a megachurch.
