Opening Day — Houston

The press box at Minute Maid Park is one of my favorites in all of baseball. It’s open, it’s close to home plate, plenty of seating and …ahhh who does not love air conditioning all around? Yep, with the air running and the roof closed, it’s in the mid 70s around here and feels very comfortable. I know the fans have to love it. They have to. Without a doubt, I know there are some days in Arlington when Rangers fans wish their park was covered/air-conditioned. If my memory serves me correctly, there are usually two or three fans a season who have to be treated because of the heat/sun in Arlington. Heck, my mom would go to more than two games a year and stay more than three innings each time if The Ballpark in Arlington was covered and climate-controlled. It’s hot. It’s Texas. That should not be a surprise. Then again, I would not change a thing about that park in Arlington. Like Minute Maid Park, it’s special in it’s own way. Besides, I’m in an air-conditioned press box everywhere I go so what am I worried about?
