The outside of the park is pretty basic. Not bad looking but nothing special. Also it is pretty tight around there so its tough to get a pic of the outside.
This is the Plaza outside the park that is set up like a mini park. It has plaques of a lot of former players and the statues of Biggio and Bagwell. I don't have a lot of room to talk being a Cubs fan, but they don't even have enough history to fill up the flags on the little bleacher section.
Once inside, this is a beautiful ballpark. Great site lines, easy to move around, and a good atmosphere. There wasn't a huge crowd, but if there was a bigger one I bet it would have been even better.
I really like the out of town scoreboard. There have been a few parks that use this type now, and they have a classic look to them. They should put one like this in the new Braves stadium when they build it.
I was hoping to see a HR by the Astros so the train would do its thing. The only HR's were by Rangers in this game, both Choo and Beltre hit one each.
I thought this was cool. It looked like just a Bud sign, but it has the state of Texas in the middle of the logo.
These were the Bud Bleachers just to the right of the batters eye. I like them better that the Bud Pavillion in Atlanta because it is tiered, but you have to have certain tix to sit in there.
One of the local brewers (I believe). Terry had an IPA from there.
On to the game. Houston scored the first couple rund and was leading 2-0 in the 4th. Then the Rangers bats came alive. they scored 6 runs in the next 4 innings, including the 2 HR by Choo and Beltre. It was kind of a boring game with the exception of the bombs.
