How do I get to Daikin Park without a car?
Take the METRORail Green or Purple Line to Convention District station, then walk 10 minutes east on Texas Avenue. The Red Line connects to Green/Purple in downtown. Rideshare drop-off is on Crawford Street between Preston and Congress near the Center Field Gate ($15-25 from IAH, $8-12 from Hobby).
What should I eat at Daikin Park?
Inside: El Tiempo (house-made tortillas + frozen margaritas), Taqueria Arandas (queso, taquitos), michelada carts (Sections 128 & 424), Whataburger (new 2026). Pre-game: Ninfa's on Navigation (legendary fajitas, 1.2 mi) or Irma's Original (0.2 mi, chicken mole).
What is there to do besides the game?
Watch the home run train in left field, explore the 1911 Union Station lobby, walk to Discovery Green park (0.3 mi, free), visit Market Square Park for Houston history (0.6 mi), check out the George R. Brown Convention Center district, or explore the Houston Theater District (17 blocks of performing arts).

Does Daikin Park have a retractable roof?
Yes. The retractable roof opens in good weather and closes for rain and summer heat (Houston summers regularly exceed 95 degrees with high humidity). When open, you can see the downtown Houston skyline. It takes about 12 minutes to open or close. The stadium has full air conditioning when the roof is closed.
What happened to Minute Maid Park?
Minute Maid Park was renamed Daikin Park on January 1, 2025 after the Houston Astros signed a 15-year naming rights deal with Daikin, a Japanese air conditioning company with a Houston-area facility. The stadium was originally Enron Field (2000-2002), briefly Astros Field, then Minute Maid Park (2002-2024). Same stadium, new name.
Can I get free water at Daikin Park?
Yes. Free cups of ice water are available at any concession stand — just ask. You can also bring sealed water bottles through security. Water fountains are on every concourse level. Houston heat and humidity make hydration essential, especially for day games when the roof may be open.
Does Daikin Park accommodate food allergies?
Most concession stands can accommodate common allergies on request. Ask any food stand for allergen information. El Tiempo and Taqueria Arandas staff can walk you through their menu allergens. Many Tex-Mex items are naturally gluten-free. You can bring outside food if you have specific dietary needs.
Where are the first aid stations at Daikin Park?
First aid stations are at Fan Accommodations (Section 112) on the Main Concourse and Section 323 on the Upper Concourse. Both are staffed by medical professionals on game days and have their own restrooms. EMTs are stationed throughout the ballpark. Heat-related emergencies are taken seriously — alert staff immediately if someone shows symptoms.
When are the busiest restroom times at Daikin Park?
The 7th inning stretch is by far the busiest restroom period, especially on the Main Concourse. Lines can exceed 15 minutes. Go in the 5th or 6th inning to beat the rush. The Upper Concourse (300 level) and Silverado Mezzanine have the shortest lines at all times. Post-game is also busy on the Main Concourse.
Is Daikin Park stroller-friendly?
Strollers are permitted but must be collapsed and stored at your seat or at Fan Accommodations (Section 112 or 323). Compact umbrella strollers are easiest. Elevators on the 1B and 3B sides, Clock Tower entrance, and center field provide access to all levels. All 16 family restrooms have room for strollers.
