Astrodome

Pros: Innovative, friendly though vast, and oddly enough its very quirks made it a great NL park
Cons: It is gone with the wind

As far as MLB goes, the Dome is history now. Enron Field, FKA the Ballpark at Union Station, AKA whatever, will be up and running by Opening Day (by which time Drayton will have traded the entire team for a spotted dog).

Big league ball and I...

Pros: Air-conditioned, fun
Cons: None!

I grew up going to Houston Astros games in the dome. I remember when they had those awful looking orange, yellow and blue uniforms. I remember when it was under $10 to sit on the third base line.

Now, the Astros have moved to Enron Field. I...

Pros: Great building
Cons: NONE

For those of you that have not had the chance to view the Astrodome, I feel pretty sorry for you. The Astrodome is probably one of the greatest stadiums in the country in my view. I have been to various types of events in the Astrodome. Besides going to...

Pros: Great Stadium
Cons: Getting Old

The Astrodome is by far one of the most special parks used for sports. It has hosted everything from Rodeo performances to championship little league games. The Dome is a regular host for High School football playoffs.

The Astrodome was the...

Pros: spacious, huge landscape, dome good for when it rains
Cons: bad food, horrible views, parking seems crazy, dome is too long makes views harder, tickets should be cheaper for the quality of view, not many sports events happen, mostly concerts and other non-important events

I went to the Astrodome when I went to Houston about a couple years back, and I didn't get the best impression. i went to an Houston Astros game because I try to see some type of sporting events anywhere I go. anyway, It is nice to have a dome because...

Pros: Bad Baseball Park
Cons: Nice venue for other events, great parking, not too expensive

The Astrodome is a monstrous indoor facility that is used for concerts, rodeos, truck rallys, and many other events. Unfortunately, the Astrodome is also used for baseball and was the home of the Astros for years. The Astrodome as a multi-purpose...

Pros: Fireworks, and that dizzy feeling
Cons: The rest of baseball isn't this way

I happened to be in Houston during baseball season two years ago. Being a fan of the game, from NY, and alone on business, I decided to see the Astros and Pirates play.

Now the first thing about the Dome is that is right off the street. Most...

Pros: friendliness, easy layout, good seats
Cons: noise level

OK, the park is old and its color scheme signals its age. And now no longer an MLB park (ok it won't be as of this coming season). But it was a GREAT park! The fans were really into the game, it was pretty full on a regular basis (it took me three...

Pros: large enough to accomodate lots of people
Cons: sound system had a lot to be desired

As I sit here tonight thinking about the Houston Astro's I get upset in general. The Astrodome was the "home" for sports as well as the Houston Livestock and Rodeo. The Rodeo will still be held here but I can remember the Astro's when they...

Pros: Fun things to do, big screen TV
Cons: None

The Astrodome is good place for any event. I have been there 2 times. One was the Rodeo '99 and a Houston Astros game playing against (can't remember). Many people brought there cameras and took pictures of the guy that threw the most home runs-record...

Pros: easy access
Cons: unattractive, inside events

When the "Dome" opened in the mid 60s it was heralded as "The Eighth Wonder of the World", and being the first stadium to host major sporting events inside, it probably was. But the years have not been good to the Astrodome, and...

Pros: Easy to get in
Cons: Astroturf, dome baseball

I went to see the Astros play the Mets a couple of years ago. I have always liked the Astros, but I had never been to Houston until 2 years ago. The experience was good and bad.

The Good: Getting tix was easy, parking was plentiful, and...

Pros: first stadium to have a roof, great food, good parking when small crowd
Cons: has turf, won't have the ASTROS next year

This is one of the great marvels of the world. To think that back in 1965 they would have created an arena with a roof over it. WOW! This stadium is amazing. I really enjoyed attending an Astros game here back in 1997. The parking was extremely...

Pros: Pure stadium, the original, history
Cons: old, not high tech like new ones

The Houston Astrodome is the original baseball stadium to enjoy a baseball game. It was the first closed roof stadium built in 1965. It is considered by many in Houston to be the 8th Wonder of the World.

The stadium might not have been the...

Pros: parking, food, views
Cons: old

This stadium is a part of the wonderful and eventful history of Houston, Texas. Dubbed as the eight wonder of the world when it first opened, it was the first domed stadium in the whole world. This stadium is big, and it is well lighted. The parking is...
