Originally founded in 1962 as the Colt .45s , the Houston Astros have journeyed from the humble Astrodome – the world’s first domed sports stadium – to their current home at Minute Maid Park.
The new stadium opened in 2000 and features a retractable roof to combat the city’s notorious heat, ensuring a comfortable experience for up to 41,000 spectators. It’s distinctive train high atop the left field is a nod to the site’s history as Houston’s Union Station. When the Astros hit a home run, the train, loaded with oranges to pay homage to Minute Maid’s product, choo-choos along the track in celebration.
This is a home run adventure you won’t want to miss!
