You can get parking 1 block to the west for 10 bucks, and so far the car is there when I've gone back. -g- I actually had a girl from Ruggles hand me coupons for 3 Dollar Sam Adams over at their bar. I love the concourse that goes all the way around the field at street level. I think you can walk from the Centerfield Concourse all the way to behind Homeplate in about 6 or 7 minutes. It's a very impressive ball park. I witness Houston history, they had the roof on for the game and then opened it up at 9 PM it takes 20 minutes for the process to complete. It's slow and completely silent and they play ball as the roof opens. The have a huge monster all glass wall that faces downtown from the left field line to out past center. so you get lots of daylight and the skyline even when the roof is closed. Totally different than the Astrodome or SKYDome. the park is fantastic and it is actually quicker in and out of the park than the dome, and it's amazing how you can drive right up to the stadium 10 minutes before game time with just about no traffic bottlenecks. Shea stadium or Yankee stadium were not like that when they had the big 40 or 50000 crowds. John (Bob, this is more for a few out of town buddies, as I know you've probably been to the park. It's especially for my Chicago Cubs Buddy.... he may have to bring his son down here to check it out.) They seem to get killer seats at Wrigley.
