Minute Maid Park: It's Not Just a Juice Box
Let's clear something up right away: the Astros do not play in the Astrodome. That iconic, spaceship-shaped stadium was retired years ago. The current home of the Astros is Minute Maid Park. Now, don't let the name fool you. While you can definitely grab a refreshing Minute Maid during the game, it's more than just a juice box.
QuickTip: Pause at lists — they often summarize.
Minute Maid Park is a modern marvel of stadium design. It's got that classic ballpark feel, but with all the amenities of a 21st-century sports venue. Plus, it has a retractable roof, so you don't have to worry about rain ruining your game day plans.
