ASTROS OF TOMORROW! If you're an MLB/MiLB fan like myself, Constellation Field needs to be on your…read moreradar. I've been to multiple baseball fields at the minor league level and this has to be one of my favorites! It's large, clean, and has a hometown feel. From the parking attendants to the gift/snack shops, I felt welcomed. Parking was $10 and food was reasonable considering it's a sporting event. Domino's Pizza was on-site with a small booth! Constellation field has burgers, chicken, hot dogs, fries, tea, and other staples like popcorn and chips. If you have kids, they have you covered here!
I spent most of my money on collectible pins, a hat, jersey, and other gifts for my folks back home. I spotted three large gift shops with great items. I picked up every single enamel pin, lol. The store had snap backs, trucker hats, and dad caps. Shirts ranged from hokey to hipster. I felt like most of their jerseys needed a slight revamp, however I was able to find a neat one!
Constellation Field has excellent seats, some shaded areas, and a massive lawn behind the bullpen. I spotted many families pull up their chairs and blankets. The area is quite inviting, it's also an affordable option for large families or groups with small children. Players interacted with fans on the lawn!
I paid for a seat near home plate, it was about $13 bucks. I opted to stand and enjoy a refreshing drink at the viewing counter behind my section. I LOVE when stadiums have counters lined across the field. It's perfect for guests who want to stand or escape the sun. Personally, I had just arrived from a long flight so I wanted to stretch my legs, this was wonderful.
Scoreboards and signage have an authentic Texan aesthetic. The largest scoreboard is shaped like the state of Texas and the numbers/lettering have a spacey vibe. Murals across Constellation are stunning, I especially love the ones featuring the Space Cowboys logo and Orion the mascot. Oh! Don't forget to take a picture with the large Astros championship ring, I forgot to like a dork!
The parking lot is massive, I parked my little Kia Soul in a safe environment. I felt secure and comfortable.
