Enron Field

Pros: Interesting ball park, good time with my son, a win for the Astros.
Cons: Nothing

Epinions please change the name of this park as it was renamed in 2002, I think it is about time to clear this up. I had the pleasure of visiting this interesting ball park called Minute Maid Park in Houston, Texas on the last game of the ...

Pros: gorgeous stadium and good seating structure
Cons: expensive

I live in Houston and attended my first Astros game at Enron
Field this past weekend. For 15 years, I have been watching
the Astros in the Astrodome and let me say, Enron is 100% better.

First is the seating. We sat in pretty cheap...

Pros: retractable roof, free bus rides to field, beautiful park
Cons: parking, expensive concessions

I was born and raised in Houston and for all my life I had been going to Astros games in the Astrodome. I thought the dome was great and was proud of having the "Eighth Wonder of the World" in my hometown. But this modern wonder was slowly turning into...

Pros: beautiful, conviniant
Cons: parking, expensive food

GROWING UP: THE ASTRODOME
I grew up in West Houston, Katy to be exact. I've always been to the Houston Astrodome to see the Astros, Supercross, concerts, Houston Live Stock Show and Rodeo. When I found out they were building a new stadium, I was...

Pros: It's baseball on grass
Cons: The grass is sponsored by Miracle Grow

The new Enron Field is a nice new ballpark. This new retractable roof baseball park has tried to do what so many new baseball stadiums have strived for in the last 10 years. The goal is to build a park as nice as Camden Yards in Baltimore, or Wrigley in...

Pros: Bright, open stadium in central downtown location
Cons: Prices went up faster than the stadium

I've kept my mouth shut about Enron Field up til now because I didn't feel I knew the lady well enough. Now that I've got a big three games under my belt, I've gotten a chance to form a few opinions about the place.

First off, I like the...

Pros: Has great potential; thus recommended with reservations
Cons: Hasn't realized the potential, and is drowning in ersatz and kitsch

Enron Field is – as most of the baseball world by now knows – open for (preseason) business. The two night games under the stars, against the Yanks, were superb. The day game, under the roof on a raw, misty Houston Saturday afternoon, against the...

Pros: Outfield balconies, great aesthetics
Cons: Food service, the Train

I attended Opening Night at Enron Field and found it to be a fun place to attend a game.

The fact that it is built on the Eastern edge of downtown Houston, meaning most patrons will have to park and walk to the park through downtown, makes it...

Pros: Modern, yet with retro accents, and a handy-dandy retractable roof
Cons: Is the roof REALLY going to be open that often, with the Houston heat

Many of my friends and family, as well as I, often travel by airplane departing from George Bush Intercontinental Airport. We live in the Southwest and Southeast parts of Houston, so I always pass by the construction site of the new baseball stadium on...

Pros: Brand new, indoor/outdoor, fun!
Cons: Prices of food items

I grew up going to the Houston Astrodome all my life to see the Astros play. I was so upset when I found out they were building a new stadium and moving out of the old one. But I understood that the Dome was old and it was time for something new.
...

Pros: Baseball outside in Houston!!!
Cons: Sun gets in your eyes down the first base line.

Before I start, I would like to say that someone should tell the people at epinions that it's Astros Field now, and not Enron!!! Thank goodness for that, because I wouldn't want to see a game at a ballpark sponsered by a flawed company.

Ok,...

Pros: Nice views, open roof!
Cons: Long lines for everything

I was at the Yankees-Astros game last night, the second game played at the new Enron Field. The stadium is located in downtown Houston, a downtown trend that continues through sports over the last few years. I like the idea of bringing people back to...

Pros: new stadium
Cons: accessability, criminal activity, no available parking

Since the 2000 season hasn't started yet I can't comment on the new stadium's amenities, seating, comfort, or even concessions. I can speak about it's location, I work in downtown Houston, only a few blocks from Enron Field.

Getting to the...

Pros: Great Views from all Around, Convenience, General Fun
Cons: Victim of Overdevelopment, Trouble with Grass

Enron field is quite simply the saving grace of Houston. While the Astrodome has served Houston fans very well for many years, it is in dire need of retirement. The dome is the place I saw my first baseball and football games. While the dome has many...

Pros: Amazing food selection, outstanding views, Very Clean
Cons: Product on field not used to a smaller field, parking a little tough

Over the summer, my roommate and I were in Houston to visit some friends and family. While we there, we thought we would take in an Astros game at the brand new Enron Field located downtown. I must say I was quite impressed with the set up of this...
