Frost Bank is the Official Bank of the Houston Rockets and Houston Comets

In a city where championship dreams run deep, hometown pride never takes a timeout, and opportunity is always worth investing in, Frost Bank is making a major league move!


On Wednesday, October 21, 2026, Frost Bank publicly announced its expanded partnership with the Houston Rockets and historic new alliance with the Houston Comets, becoming the Official Bank of both professional basketball franchises.


The announcement represents more than an impressive corporate sponsorship. It signals another meaningful investment in Houston's sports culture, economic vitality, community empowerment, and the remarkable resurgence of women's professional basketball.


For Frost, a valued Houston Style Magazine community partner, the occasion is particularly significant: The Comets represent the bank's first partnership with a professional women's sports team.


And in Houston, that's what we call banking on a winner!

 

A Championship Legacy Returns to Houston

Few franchises occupy a more celebrated place in women's professional sports history than the Houston Comets.


Founded in 1997 as one of the WNBA's original eight teams, the Comets established basketball royalty by capturing four consecutive WNBA championships from 1997 through 2000.


Led by legendary players Cynthia Cooper, Sheryl Swoopes, and Tina Thompson, alongside Hall of Fame coach Van Chancellor, the Comets helped revolutionize women's basketball while inspiring generations of young athletes.


Following the original franchise's closure in 2008, Houston waited nearly two decades for another opportunity to celebrate its pioneering basketball dynasty.


That wait is finally approaching its end.


Following unanimous WNBA and NBA approval in May 2026, the Connecticut Sun franchise will relocate to Houston, restoring the beloved Comets name for the 2027 WNBA season at Toyota Center under the ownership of Tilman Fertitta.


"The return of the Houston Comets marks a historic moment for our city, our fans, and the future of women's sports," said Gretchen Sheirr, President of Business Operations.

 

Frost Bank: Investing Beyond the Basketball Court

Frost's relationship with the Rockets spans nearly a decade, but this expanded partnership promises to reach considerably further than courtside visibility.


Richard Mann, Frost's Houston Region President, emphasized the city's collaborative spirit and the bank's commitment to strengthening local communities.


The agreement introduces several initiatives designed to bring Houston families, businesses, and basketball fans closer together.


Financial Literacy and Community Empowerment: Frost will collaborate with both franchises on programs designed to build financial confidence, encourage informed money management, and help Houstonians pursue their financial goals.


Frost Fridays: Select Rockets and Comets home games will feature special fan experiences, giveaways, and interactive activities celebrating Houston basketball culture.


Frost Legends Club: A newly enhanced hospitality experience will welcome guests attending games and other Toyota Center events.


Championship-Level Partnerships: Frost will serve as a presenting partner for the "For the Cup" series celebrating the NBA Cup and WNBA Commissioner's Cup.


Together, these initiatives demonstrate how corporate partnerships can connect professional sports with financial education, community engagement, and meaningful opportunities for local families.

 

A New Era for Houston Sports and Economic Growth

The announcement arrives alongside the ambitious $180 million Toyota Center Reimagined renovation, which includes modernized suites, improved fan amenities, enhanced technology, and facilities supporting the Comets' arrival.


Meanwhile, the Rockets continue embracing their own championship heritage, recalling their unforgettable back-to-back NBA titles in 1994 and 1995.


With basketball excitement growing across both leagues, Frost's decision positions the financial institution at the intersection of sports, business, and Houston's evolving cultural identity.


Founded in 1868, Frost reported $53.9 billion in assets as of June 30, 2026, reflecting an enduring Texas banking institution investing in tomorrow's opportunities.


For Houston Style Magazine, the significance extends beyond sports sponsorship.


It's about supporting women's advancement, celebrating historic achievement, strengthening neighborhoods, and encouraging financial empowerment.


Two legendary basketball brands. One historic banking partnership. Unlimited Houston pride.


And as the Comets prepare to reclaim their place in Houston sports history, Frost Bank is helping ensure the next generation has something extraordinary to cheer for.


Houston's future is looking championship bright!
