A prominent fixture in downtown Houston, Minute Maid Park has changed names several times since its opening in 2000, but will always be known for its primary purpose of housing the Houston Astros, a Major League Baseball team. The stadium features a retractable roof for year-round events and has a seating capacity of more than 41,000.
You can opt for upgrades to club seating and luxury suites when available at Minute Maid Park. Check the schedule for soccer and rugby matches or for large-scale musical performances by major stars. Past entertainers include Taylor Swift, Tim McGraw, Paul McCartney and Beyoncé.
Sign up for a 1.5-hour ballpark tour to learn about the Houston Astros and visit the press box, broadcasting booth, dugout and bullpen. You can also board a historic rail car paying homage to the park’s location inside the former Union Station.
