[edit] 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)

[edit] 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)

[edit] 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)

[edit] Astros No hitter

6/11/2003 Astros over Yankees 8-0[[1]]

This no-hitter occurred at Yankee stadium. The Astros have not thrown a no-hitter at minute maid park.Cjosefy 15:48, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

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)
