Sit back and watch two innings and then get back in line. I've seen fans who skipped the "and watch 2 innings ". I came to HTX to late to see games in the dome. Since it's opening season I've been and Enron/MinuteMaid/Daikin Park fan. We raised our kids on major League baseball at this stadium. I've got great memories.

Daikin Park is #22 of 30 on my travels to see all the major league ballparks. While I can say that…read moreI enjoyed my visit, I also have to admit that there weren't necessarily any standout experiences that set this park apart for me on my quest for 30. Does it have its own vibe? Of course... but is there anything about the park that would make me go "Man, I *have* to get back there sometime!"..? Meh. I did have the advantage of spending my time there with a great friend of mine, which made having to watch the Astros (as a Yankees fan) a little less painful. Haha. Since I was only staying a couple blocks away, it was easy for me to the stadium with enough time before the game to walk around all the different levels and see all the different vantage points, which was great. Was a bit disappointed to see so many of the concession stands on the upper seating tiers were closed, but my seat for the game was on the second level and that was fine. Of course, this also means that I didn't have to deal with parking or trying to get out of the city after the game. Back to concessions though, I ended up trying the brisket donuts - available near sections 134 and 409, though, like I said, the concessions in the upper tier were closed. This particular concession is two fried brisket "donuts" drizzled with BBQ sauce and served with homemade mac and cheese. Unfortunately, the mac and cheese was pretty unappetizing. I get it's a staple side dish to barbecue, but I honestly don't think it's needed with the donuts and the mushy texture doesn't do the dish any favors. The brisket donuts themselves are okay. I found them very filling. Would I get them again though? Probably not. I will say, the thing that I WOULD recommend getting here? The margarita from El Tiempo Cantina. There's hype around this margarita for a reason... it's delicious & it definitely helps take the edge off. :) In terms of overall ballpark experience, staff were generally pretty friendly, fans were enthusiastic (which, considering the team was hovering around a .500 record at the time of my visit, is saying something), and the park was pretty clean. There's not really much to do/see outside the park, but home run alley and the walkway through the hall of fame add a bit of character to the inside. Various murals are on display throughout the stadium too and they add a bit of flair. TL;DR Having great company to share my Daikin Park experience with was key to my visit, but I won't complain about the margarita either. Would I return to this ballpark? Meh, I'm not in a rush. There are some interesting parts to the park though... and, of course, having a roof & a/c was a delight. Fairly generic experience otherwise though.

Was recently in Houston to knock stadium #22 off my list and decided to take a side trip to Sugar…read moreLand to experience a Space Cowboys game. Purchased club seats for myself and a friend and absolutely LOVED the experience in that section. That said, we wandered the entire stadium before the game (and got to pet plenty of pooches since it was a Waggin' Wednesday game), got some Space Cowboys swag (I even got a leash for my dog), and made sure to see everything that Constellation Field had to offer. Once we got to the club section (the First Community Club), we got our wristbands and made our way to the buffet. What a great selection of food! I complemented my food with a local beer selection. Then we made our way to our seats and got to enjoy the view, the breeze, and some fun baseball. Pre-paying for parking makes that aspect of the experience a breeze. The staff at this stadium are an absolute delight as well. Very clean stadium, lots of activities and concession options. As far as minor league / AAA stadiums go, Constellation Field is one of the better ones I've been able to visit. Highly recommend.

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.

We got to support our team! Sorry, I had to get that in there after seeing the Denver Broncos come to town recently. Stadium concessions have been upgraded recently with the arrival of Trill Burgers and Killens BBQ. I love the Crown Royal Bar on the 600 level! DJ spinning tunes during pregame and halftime! Overall The Texans experience is great! Will always make it out when possible!

The worst: No security for reserved drinks and tables. How do I know? Someone stole my prepaid drink and table. By the time I searched every table, weaving through the crowd, it was time to go back for the second half. So I couldn't stand in line and ask what the hell happened. No way to prove I didn't get what I paid for so no way to recoup my money. First time to this venue and first time something like this has happened. Too bad. Doubt I will be back. I know it shouldn't be a deal-breaker, but the carelessness with people's time and money is ridiculous.

Then we toured the museum, then watched an excellent film on the history of the San Jancinto battleground. Afterwards, we walked the nature trail, still admiring the impressive view of the monument. FYI, Texas mosquitoes are huge and hungry even into late November. We're from Alabama & are used to mosquitoes, but seriously, we have never been swarmed by so many mosquitoes all at once. They even bit us through our clothes. Who does that?! Overall, we loved this place & it was probably the highlight of our trip to the Houston Bay Area.

I mean, who can pass up a cool memorial that is similar to the Washington monument in DC but it's in Texas so bigger (of course). We came on an afternoon during the hot, mid-June sun and there was not a soul there. The indoor museum was closed and we thought the whole park was closed at first, but no, it was just hot and most sane people were indoors. Hey, we're Minnesotans, we thrive in harsh weather conditions, mother nature be damned. We wandered around the grounds to see what this place had to offer. The monument with reflecting pond was cool to walk around, it is a really tall monument that can be seen for miles. Not a lot of stuff is built up around it though, so it feels way out in the middle of nowhere. It was also somewhat unnerving that we didn't see other people. A few more crazy people like us came after awhile and eased our nerves. It seems most people give a quick walk around the tower and then leave. Unfortunately, there was no battleship on the property as some other sites and reviews mention. That was a bummer, I would have gladly paid to take a look at that piece of history. That was kind of the ticket I used to get my family here, so once they figured out there wasn't a boat here, we packed up the car and left. Still a great piece of history that holds a special place in the heart of Texans (and the nation) everywhere. Interesting historical story to read about later too after visiting the site and seeing it first hand.

It's a miracle that they're still able to provide high quality, free entertainment in this day and age. The booking process is a bit random - for extremely popular shows, there's a lottery, but otherwise you refresh during the ticket drop and get into a queue and can pick up to four tickets in the covered seating area (which also has huge ceiling fans. Huge plus.) or just hang out on the hill. Digital tickets are a huge upgrade where you don't have to wait at will call anymore. Seating is fantastic - plenty of walking space, seats have cupholders, and pretty much every seat has a clear view of the stage at a different angle for adults of all heights. There is difficulty in seeing ground level acts like the contortionist. (The interpretation of Da Vinci was phenomenal though, you can imagine). I always try to make it to at least one Cirque show every year and it's always a blast. Cheers to what they do here.
