Crane at first said he was waiting for “approval from the City here quickly” then he backtracked and said “not approval, but we’ve got to get the economics right.” He said it will be a 4-star hotel with a ballpark village around it with about 60K SF with a lot of entertainment and it will connect directly to Minute Maid Park, the parking garage behind it, and the GRB. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hindesky Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 https://www.mlb.com/astros/tickets/college-classic I saw lots of the team's fans in downtown, team busses and several fans at Specs Midtown. First game today is Vanderbilt vs. Houston. The games are being shown on Space City channel. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Area is now fenced in with some heavy machinery behind the fence. Sure hope the Astros have nice plans for this space. I saw a lot of dirt but no trees. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
