Minute Maid Park Events

Minute Maid Park, home of the Houston Astros, opened in 2000 and is located in downtown Houston. The ballpark was Houston’s first retractable-roofed stadium, protecting fans and athletes from Houston’s notoriously humid weather as did its predecessor, the Astrodome, but also allowing fans to enjoy outdoor baseball during favorable weather.
