The ballpark opened in 2000 as Enron Field, spent more than two decades as Minute Maid Park, and became Daikin Park on January 1, 2025. It wraps around Houston's old Union Station, built in 1911, and its retractable roof keeps summer games cool. Two quirks make it special. The Crawford Boxes in left field sit just 315 feet from home plate, so fly balls turn into souvenirs, and a replica locomotive runs along 800 feet of track above left field whenever the Astros hit a home run or win. The club won World Series titles in 2017 and 2022. The 2027 season opens at home against the Texas Rangers on March 25, 2027.
What to expect
- Gates open two hours before first pitch, and the whole ballpark is open from then.
- No backpacks or bags over 16 x 16 x 8 inches, and every bag is checked at the gate.
- Tickets are mobile only in the MLB Ballpark app, and there is no re-entry.
- The ballpark is cashless; reverse ATMs on the concourses turn cash into a card.
- Rideshare pickup is just outside the center field gate on Crawford Street.
What to do
- Watch the train run after an Astros home run
- Sit in the Crawford Boxes with a glove
- Walk through the old Union Station lobby
