Minute Maid Park takes the best of the Astrodome and transforms it into a state-of-the-art ballpark with modern amenities. But it still manages to incorporate elements of an old-style ballpark, with its grass field, retractable roof and an historic train section that pays homage to the site's location on the old Union Station grounds.

The park opened in 2000 and is home to the Houston Astros, the city's Major League Baseball team.

Unlike the old Astrodome, Minute Maid Park's roof is retractable. It allows fans to enjoy a game in spite of Houston's humidity, and then retracts to allow cooler air in during seasonable weather.

The ballpark has 4,774 club seats and 63 luxury suites.
