[These pictures were taken at the first game we attended at Minute Maid Park, back when it was Enron Field. It seems so quaint now!]
Most were taken from our seats in the upper deck just behind home plate, but a few were taken when Steve & I walked around the whole field before the game. What a great ballpark!

This is Mark McGwire taking BP. I think this swing is the one he hit out of the park. |
And here is career home run record holder Hank Aaron as he throws out the first pitch. |
This is the way the scoreboard area looked before the game; there may be a little space left for more ads, what do you think? Click here to see how it could look. This picture was taken from above the Crawford boxes in left field. |
But this sure isn't a bad view looking the other way for $10 a seat! Click here to see a larger image of the view from our upper deck seats during BP. |

There really is a hill in center field. Plus some kind of plant growth beyond that we couldn't identify. Can you? Ruggles Restaurant patio is to the right of the plants. I'd love to watch a game from there someday. |
