Our Minute Maid Park Stadium Series Baseball Story & Inspiration:
Hello Juice Box! Let me take you to Minute Maid Park. Minute Maid Park, formerly known as The Ballpark at Union Station, Enron Field, and Astros Field, is a retractable roof stadium located in Downtown Houston, Texas. It opened in 2000 as the home ballpark of the Houston Astros of Major League Baseball.
The Astros were founded in 1962 as the Houston Colt .45s and joined the National League as an expansion team alongside the New York Mets. The current name, reflecting Houston's role as the home of the Johnson Space Center, was adopted three years later, when they moved into the Astrodome, the world's first domed sports stadium and the ‘Eighth Wonder of the World!’
Rise of Astros. The Astros won their first game in 1972 and reached the playoffs for the first time in 1980. In 2005, The Astros made their first World Series appearance. During the early 2010s, the team embraced sabermetrics and pioneered new analytical technologies, transforming from a middling franchise to one of MLB's most dominant and successful clubs, winning over 100 games in three consecutive seasons. Hall of Famers Joe Morgan, Nolan Ryan, Craig Biggio, and Jeff Bagwell have all played for the 'Stros and etched their names in the team's record book over the years.
The Astros would move into their current stadium, Minute Maid Park, in 2000 and go on to have their most successful season yet, winning the American League pennant in 2017 and 2019, as well as the World Series in 2017. Alright!
Minute Maid Park, located in the heart of Space City, is now in its second decade of operation, but it remains one of the best baseball experiences in the league. The stadium's playing field is made of natural grass. It was built to replace the Astrodome, the world's first domed sports stadium, which opened in 1965.
