📖About Daikin Park
Daikin Park — nicknamed "The Juice Box" — is the Houston Astros' home ballpark in downtown Houston, renamed from Minute Maid Park on January 1, 2025 under a 15-year partnership with Daikin Comfort Technologies (previously Enron Field and briefly Astros Field before Minute Maid Park took over in 2002). The park features a retractable roof, a main entrance built into the preserved lobby of Houston's historic Union Station, and the Crawford Boxes in left field — at 315 feet, one of the shortest home-run porches in Major League Baseball. After every Astros home run and win, a replica 1860s locomotive rolls along the track above the left-field wall.
