Talk:Minute Maid Park

The Name Change

I heard that when they changed the name, they offered a prize to anyone who could find the phrase, or logo of Enron in Minute Maid Park. Can anyone provide any information on this? I think its a hillarious little detail. -- Theycallmemorty 15:28, 15 July 2005 (UTC)

The Roof

ESPN is running a story that Bud Selig wants the roof open for the World Series but there might be bad weather for those nights in Houston. Does anyone know how long it takes to open/close the roof in case there is bad weather?

Just about 20 minutes, if I recall correctly. --bbatsell | « give me a ring » 03:47, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

"12-20 minutes", according to the Astros' website. --bbatsell | « give me a ring » 03:50, 25 October 2005 (UTC) Yet i wonder...

I'm waiting for the conspiracists to suggest that MLB is doing everything it can to make sure the White Sox win. Wahkeenah 12:56, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

Tal's Hill

This article says that Tal's Hill is a 10-degree incline. The Tal's Hill article says it's 30 degrees. This sounds like an inconsistancy. Is it? If so, what is the real value? --Amoore 04:38, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

If you've seen it on TV recently, it is definitely more than 10 degrees. It's also an abomination, but that's another story. Wahkeenah 12:54, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

I've added the following reference which states that the incline is 30 degrees, and also verifies other facts in the article:

Why is all the text crammed into the infobox? I can't figure out what went wrong with the formatting. SCHZMO ✍ 18:24, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:MinuteMaidParkLogo150.PNG

Image:MinuteMaidParkLogo150.PNG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.

Hurricane Ike

Did Hurricake Ike have impacts on Minute Maid Park? If it did — aside from the fact games were postponed or moved at around the time of the storm, although notable — then this article should include information about the impacts of Hurricane Ike on the park.

Coca-Cola cats

Hello, I'm cleaning up the cats for Coke articles. Since Minute Maid is the juice brand of Coca-Cola, I added the same cats I did for other stadiums the company sponsors. Since I don't know if it's common knowledge who owns MM, I just wanted to explain what I was doing. If anyone has suggestions for further improvements to the cats/templates, I'm always happy to refine them futher.RevelationDirect (talk) 04:32, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

telephone numbers

wouldn't be nice to have a phone number for Minute Maid Park in an easy to locate section of this article??? I think so. Also, trying to figure out the optimal parking section and entrance for a specific seating section would be REALLY nice... Thanks.
