Minute Maid Park is truly a Houston gem. Not only is it a modern stadium (retractable roof, restaurants& bars, kids zone, etc...)but just as in other cities, it was built in one of the worst parts of downtown Houston. Besides provding entertainment it also serves as a downtown revitalization hub. Since it is not a super big stadium it easily nestles into the downtown area. This makes it easy for the visitor and is nothing like trying to get to a game at the old Astrodome. This idea was recently put to the test during Super Bowl week here in Houston. Minute Maid provided concerts and entertainment which was easily accessible just by walking to the stadium. Finally, what makes this stadium great is the fact that there is no bad seat in the house. Anyplace you sit will allow you to see the field and to actually see the players faces. Although, professional baseball is played in the park, the park has a strong community feeling. You actually feel as you though know the players and are sitting with neighbors watching the game.
