What it's known for
The ballpark was built on the site of Houston’s old Union Station, and the historic station building is still the main entrance. To honor that history, a replica steam locomotive runs along a track above the left-field wall after Astros home runs.
Left field is famously short, with seats called the Crawford Boxes hanging just beyond the wall, so pop flies to left can become home runs. The retractable roof keeps the park cool and dry through Houston’s long, hot summers.
Getting there
Daikin Park is on the east side of downtown Houston, walkable from downtown hotels. There’s paid parking in lots and garages nearby, and METRORail stops a few blocks away.
Tips for your visit
- Try to be there for an Astros home run to see the train run.
- Seats in the Crawford Boxes are a great place to catch a home run ball.
- The roof is usually closed in summer, so the weather won’t ruin your plans.
