- ourfamilyof4_4-funSaint Louis, Missouri52 contributionsBobblehead DayParking is expensive but there is plenty available. We walked around the stadium while watching batting practice. There really is not a bad seat in the house. Lots of food choices, places to buy beer, and bathrooms, so we didn't have much of a wait for anything. We were a little disappointed the roof was closed, but it was still a great experience.Visited April 2023Written April 2, 2023
- Mo M.12 contributionsA/C blastingVery nice park with total A/C. Bathrooms were medium sized for the ladies could use some fans in there tho. Food stands needed more people to work it, poor guys. FYI: There are 2 lines at gate, one "long line" to check bags/totes (mainly women) and the "shorter line" with just your person (mainly men) the concourse was packed with all kinds of things to eat n' drink. Self service stalls were good with beer/water. Seats were ok, little crowded but decent. They do need more trash cans and recycle cans at like every stairway tho. Helpful stadium people. Overall very very nice stadium to visit.Visited June 2023Written June 24, 2023
- ntmireHouston, Texas137 contributionsCan’t see gameWe went to the Astros game August 18 and our seats were in section 156. There were no TVs available to see, so far that we couldn’t see the game hardly at all and there were no big TVs except one that had the statistics instead of showing the actual game being played !🤷🏼♀️Not impressed with this stadium compared to many more we’ve been to. They need a screen for people who don’t have the high dollar seats right upfront to be able to see the game, we were very disappointed!Visited August 2023Traveled as a coupleWritten August 19, 2023
- JedSandSan Pedro Sula, Honduras14 contributionsGreat concert venue.I was in attendance for a RBD concert. A very nice experience. Take notice thatt you're not allowed to bring bags or backpacks inside (there are exceptions). Retractable roof, it was closed and the AC on.Visited August 2023Traveled soloWritten September 1, 2023
- EaglesFan27Reading, Pennsylvania631 contributionsFun Night at the ballpark!I hope to see all 30 baseball stadiums one-day, but this is now one of my favorites. It seems so massive especially with the roof closed. I walked around throughout the game for different vantage points and there really wasn't a bad spot. With the team's recent success, the fanbase was really into it.Visited September 2023Traveled soloWritten September 11, 2023
- Brad F1 contributionIt was a retirement gift for my wife from the fire department from Houston for 20 years so I decided to bring my family.I got a gift for my wife. I retired from the fire department after 20 years with Houston. I’m a big fan of the Houston Astros are usually watch them on TV because we live in the suburbs. So we decided to bring the family, my son, my daughter and my infant. The experience was good until we were trying to get an autograph up at the front, which we thought was for the experience we arrived just like everybody else very early pregame, and we bought tickets. We were in section 109 which were great seats. One of the tenants told us we were not allowed to go down there and was very rude to my wife and told us that we should be grateful that we got tickets and grateful we’re at the game and we’re not allowed to go down there to get any autographs it’s not guaranteed. That didn’t settle right with me due to the fact that it wasn’t that we wanted an autograph. It was the experience I was trying to give my children with the autograph or not we just want to get down there to be a part of something the game and we got .That didn’t settle right with me do to the fact that it wasn’t that we wanted an autograph. It was the experience I was trying to give my children with the autograph or not we just want to get down there to be a part of something of the game and we got a bad experience with that, besides that the stadium was beautiful I hope that they could understand it’s about the children. The families they’re the ones that buy the tickets the season holders the merchandise I think sometimes we forget that.Visited September 2023Traveled with familyWritten September 22, 2023

We went here for the Billy Joel Concert. The queue getting in was bad, it didn't help that the Ticketmaster Website kept kicking us out and asking us to log back in, then we couldn't even connect to it. We were not the only ones having this issue.
We then got to our seat only to find they were not as shown on the map but further over. Add to the the space between the aisles was so small the the couple next to me got knocked over when someone was trying to get to their seat in the middle.
I went to get 2 drinks and paid nearly $70, later a single beer for $20 poured out of a can, how can you justify that?????
I'm giving this a poor only because I liked Billy Joel, otherwise it would be a terrible.
We will not be going back to this venue in a hurry!!!!

We were able to purchase very close parking in a garage directly across the street for an affordable price. The ballpark is large with wide concourses, lots of food choices, and great areas with tables/chairs to eat. It was also very nicely decorated with a great overall ambiance. The BEST part is the retractable roof and air conditioning, which made the entire day at the ballpark SO cool and comfortable. We were just in heaven actually watching a 1:00 ballgame in the summer under such cool and comfortable conditions unlike what we are used to sitting in the hot sun and sweating while feeling uncomfortable. We were amazed! We were also astonished by the super friendly people, both staff and fans that we stopped to chat with. The only thing that gives this place one point off is the huge traffic jam we were stuck in for nearly 30 minutes when trying to leave after the game.

My husband is a huge Astros fan and thought this would be a fun thing to do before Father’s Day weekend. I would recommend doing the All star tour which gives you access to the dugout, media press boxes, team Clubhouse and suite VIP boxes section. The tour guides aren’t great but do provide some neat information about ballpark. They are very pushy though about moving along and didn’t provide sufficient time for photos or offer to take photos for group. With everything being very expensive, we thought this was reasonably priced ($25) per person considering the amount of things we got to see.

I went with my friends to watch the Royal Rumble. My friend got the tickets on a radio contest. I loved our seats even though we were not close to the ringside. We have the two screens in front of us and we were also very close to the restroom and the snacks. Most people park around the stadium. If you get early you can get a nice parking spot for 15 dollars near the stadium. Be sure to take your time and don't take bags with you. There is a lot of security around the stadium and there are very strict with all their policies.

Yes, like other stadiums the distance between the rows is a little tight and the concessions are overpriced. But they keep the entire place clean, there is a pretty good selection of food and beverages from real restaurants, and the place is air-conditioned. My only complaint is that they almost always keep the roof closed even at night. Hey! This is baseball, it's summer, and when the sun goes down it's reasonably pleasant.

I am a die-hard Fenway Park devotee, but need to give Minute Maid its due. This park is not a cookie-cutter ballpark and has some nice and unique features. Most of the Astro fans were quite friendly and welcoming and they had some nice food options and the beers were much less expensive then at Fenway. We will definitely be back....when the Sox are in H-town.

I was there recently on 8/19/2022.
It was a multi bill concert that had
1. Joan Jett and the Blackhearts.
2. Poison
3. Motley Crue Reunion
4. Def Leppard.
The show was great until, Def Leppard. They were horribly boring and lacked the punch that Motley Crue and Poison had. They should never have been the headliner and should have followed Joan Jett and Motley Crue should have been the headliner as they stole the show from Def Leppard. Thousands of people were leaving after the 3rd Def Leppard song. They've lost their magic a long time ago and really need to retire
About the stadium. the seats are narrow and hurt. Not very comfortable in the cheaper seats. However, if you purchase section 200 all the way down to the floor, the seating and comfort is much better.

The highlight of this ballpark is how friendly everyone is. When the roof is closed it is really claustrophobic- concourses too small. The sound is so loud that you cannot hear anything. No opportunity to chat with people. I wish they would tune it down a few decibels. It is uncomfortable. The seats are comfortable and food options are plentiful.

One of my favorite places on earth. I’ve brought my kids once before and that was miserable. But when it’s just me and my husband, I am happy to stay the whole 9 innings. The last game I went to we were sandwiched between 8 people on either side of us, just one row below the nosebleed seats (although, I don’t think there’s a bad seat in the park), we spent $35 on mediocre food and $10 on a large fountain drink with free refills (we got 5 refills/our money’s worth). The game was slow and the Astros lost, but we had such a great time. I love the ambience/energy.

I love a ballpark any day but was especially impressed with the staff I encountered getting food. They didn't have any pickles for the burgers but were so excited to be able to make me happy with some jalepenos. They were just extra friendly which made me smile!

Hi, i attended an Astros game recently and had seats in the Crawford Box area. The seats were not that wide and would like to know what areas in the Park have wider seats. I know for sure that Sections 118 - 120 behind home plate have wide seats as I also sat there for an Astros game recently. Can you tell me which other sections have wide seats like sections 118-120?
Going the series vs Blue Jays in April and trying to get my hands on some Diamond Club seats. My husband and I are self proclaimed seat snobs lol. Do they ever go on resale sites? I've been checking daily and nothing so far.
I have to take two wheelchair bound fans to the park. I can only push one chair. Is there help to get us from the parking lot to the seats & back?

ues, but you will need to contact the park a couple days before the game
Going to the game on July 15th, Astros. Do I need a clear purse?
Can I take my regular purse in to the Minute Maid Astro's game on Friday July 15th, 2022
We are staying at Hyatt place Houston Downtown is that within walking distance of the stadium.
