Hot Night at the Ice Box

First pitch at Daikin Park

Houston Astros vs. Tampa Bay Rays

A first stop at the ballpark formerly known as Minute Maid Park brings the ballpark count to 28.

Kick Off with the Pre-game Tour

Ernie and I are in Day 3 of a six-day six-ballpark trip that started in Albuquerque and the first stadium tour of the trip. (I will post another time about the Big Texas trip.) If you can make time for it, take the ballpark tour. In this case of the pre-game tour, we end the tour with about thirty minutes in the right field seats for batting practice before the gates open.

Seat Selection

Honda on the club level at Daikin Park

Section 212 Row 9 (Honda Club Level)

Club Level seats are not usually on my radar but SeatGeek showed me an offer I couldn’t refuse. The seats were just the perfect level for the game.

Of course, since it is called the “Honda Club Level”, you can catch on Honda being heavily featured.

Ballpark Food of Choice

Brisket Burger

The Honda Club Level offers some of the better options for ballpark foods including this Brisket Burger, a burger topped with brisket, jalapenos, and red onion.
