This stadium, Minute Maid Park, has a special place in my heart. Not only is it an amazing structure, but it is like home to me. I began going to baseball games at the age of five with my family, and have been going ever since. Walking into the stadium, breathing the fresh air and the smell of hot dogs and popcorn is the best feeling on earth. My favorite thing was to go all the way to the top and look down at all the corners of the stadium to see what cool features I could see. The best part about this stadium is the train that moves every time there is a homerun. The. exterior of the stadium is just as amazing as the interior. I remember one of the first games I went to during covid. Seeing all these people still coming together in a space shows how much buildings and their functions have on people. It’s a second home for all of Houston. The architecture of this building is so great that Dallas Rangers literally copied it for their new stadium… but oh well. Minute Maid park is actually built in honor of the railroads. A tie between Houston’s past and its ballpark is a physical line to Union Station. The building is a symbol of the important role the railroad has played in the city’s upbringing. The once Union Station is now an area within the stadium. A buildings architecture comes from a lot of a places history, adding meaning to it.
