On non-game days they are open I believe that’s why the team store is being enlarged in CF …to reopen the Union Station lobby as an entry point (and to also use for other events not baseball related) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattyt36 Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Strange placement for team store considering where the "Ballpark Village" will be (still not liking the silence on this one!), but I guess there weren't a lot of options.

Agree, but there’s 100% chance there will be a store at the ballpark village as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think so, otherwise FanFest would’ve been the perfect time to roll this out. But per the agreement with city council, they have to begin development within 4 years of May 2020.

Right? but I think it says a lot about Crane that he’s willing to spend for even the slightest improvements. He’s added to the stadium every year he’s been an owner and I love it! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That looks tacky. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nate4l1f3 Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 They could have at least matched the font they used for the MMP sign. My hope is maybe they have plans to add something there next off-season or in the future. Maybe that’s the plan seeing how they went minimalist in the area where the trees once were. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monarch Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 ^^^ why on earth, would they construct a brand new TEAM STORE waaaaaaaaaaaay in the BACK of the complex? shouldn't it be at the FRONT of the complex for all to see and patronize it?

cspwal Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 The Astros middle management arrives in cars parked north of Minute Maid, so is is really the gateway to the ballpark /\ my only reasoning to explain not investing on the Texas/Crawford façade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've often seen fans gathering by that entrance with their kids so they can get autographs from the players. Some players actually stop, especially if they see kids asking.

hindesky Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 I hope they add some of the Astros colors to the sign, that white sign is sorely lacking character. The area around the trees looks like some ground up rubber. Discovery Green uses something like this around the perimeter of their park between the sidewalk and the curb. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
