They should have done something with it about 25 years ago. Now it's full of mold and god knows what. All the renovations proposals have had astronomical pricetags and don't have any chance of making an ROI worth the risk. Might as well demo it and make it something useful, even if it is more parking.

Edwin Diaz to Dodgers 

Like they needed more firepower, they might as well find room for Kyle too.

Bring on the lockout/strike, whatever

i'd expect pricing to go up across the board

no more $13 hooks tickets. they need to cut UT baseball a check to play down there every year. people show up. lot of ut supporters in South Texas 

curious why asheville wasn't part of this ?

ok real talk here ..... behind first base the hooks have a spin the wheel game set up. $5 for 3 spins or $12 for 6. if these fuck sticks take that away, i'm rioting. it's a mix of astro give aways, hooks give aways and whataburger coupons. 

it's full of great prices !!!!!

ugh ...

Articles on Diamond Baseball and here’s a quick quote to sum it up:

“Indeed, Diamond Baseball Holding’s business model is clear once you get past the puffery and the popcorn: Consolidate the minor league market and foist costs onto taxpayers, with the ever-present threat of moving teams out of communities that don’t comply. It’s a tale of consolidation and extraction running right underneath America’s pastime.”

Asheville was the only affiliate not owned by the Astros.  Also, it is expected that the High A level will be eliminated as part of the next CBA.  I hate it.  MLB needs more affiliated teams, not less.  More players on affiliated roster means a more popular sport.
