I again braved the heat\u2014of the humid variety (ick)\u2014to get a first-hand look at the park formerly known as Enron Field the park formerly known as Minute Maid Daikin Park.<\/p>\n<p>Before any \u2018Stros fans come at me, I\u2019ll say this: your ballpark is a perfectly fine place to watch a game. Nothing abjectly wrong with it in any fashion. The train is legitimately cool!<\/p>\n<p>I do, however, have to be honest in saying I am now\u2014after years of Target Field and visits to other spectacular outdoor venues\u2014partial to baseball under an open sky. This isn\u2019t the Astros\u2019 fault whatsoever. Even when the retractable roof is closed the place is still a little warm\u2014just too much humidity seeping in. So I understand the need for a topper.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>But for that same reason it will never rank in the top of my ballpark listings. What was interesting is that at the end of one game I attended, they opened the roof for fireworks. It was the rare non-humid night in HOU and the breeze felt WONDERFUL! If only their location would allow for that every night, not just once in a blue moon.<\/p>\n<p>I also found some interesting sights scattered around the stadium&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Per tradition, I like to hit a few of the local non-baseball sites too. The short turnaround prevented a jaunt to the Houston Space Center, but I did walk through the Houston Zoo &amp; found the coolest 1980s diner\u2014Hungry Like The Wolf\u2014ever!<\/p>\n<p>I have now been to 20 MLB parks past and present. I have 13 to go for the entire circuit\u201412 at the exact moment because I\u2019m not seeing the Athletics unless\/until they get a real home.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>My next trip? Late July in Denver for Twins\/Rockies. Let\u2019s hope the Twins have a win by then.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s today\u2019s mound matchup, and you can click here for the lineups (I may be in-and-out a bit this morning and not able to drop those in):<\/p>\n<p><img alt=\" \" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"400\" height=\"238\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"standard-img\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/b205afb098a60b918874ffbe15a159b0.jpeg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>More from twinkietown.com:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"content-list\">\n<li\/><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"First Pitch: 1:10 PM CTTV: Twins.TVRadio: TIBNKnow Thine Enemy: Brew Crew Ball Almost exactly ten years ago, my&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":6536,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[7948,7951,7949,7947,1287,1266,62,358,1278,7950,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-6535","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mlb","8":"tag-arlington","9":"tag-astros","10":"tag-globe-life-field","11":"tag-lone-star-state","12":"tag-minnesota-twins","13":"tag-mlb","14":"tag-sports","15":"tag-texas","16":"tag-texas-rangers","17":"tag-the-athletics","18":"tag-united-states","19":"tag-unitedstates","20":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114729631348170931","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6535","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6535"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6535\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6536"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6535"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6535"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6535"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
