Best New Stadium
Minute Maid Park
Forget about the stupid corporate name and that god-awful choo-choo train in left field. The best new stadium in Houston is the oldest new stadium in Houston: Minute Maid Park, a.k.a. the Juice Box, Home Run Field and Sponsorship Stadium. Minute Maid wins simply because it offers the best, and most interactive, fan experience in Houston: Sit in the Crawford Boxes and catch pop fly home runs. Sit in the field boxes and interfere with a ball in play. Our favorite seats are in right field on the first level, under the overhang, where we don't have to watch the DiamondVision screen. Go get a $10 hot dog and enjoy.
