So do they close the roof like right before the game starts then? It must be hot AF in there if so



Nah they have timed out where it feels fine. I'm. It sure they open it daily but enough to keep the grass growing. Concerts **** it up occasionally.

It is in the upper areas yes. I believe they close it like 2.5-3 Hr before

It's literally the purpose of the retractable roof. If not just build a dome

Yeah I think one of the reason we decided on the synthetic turf was so we could keep the roof closed during the day and keep it cool. We also have stuff going on on the field all the time it seems like

For sure. Just beyond weird. It was a completely normal conversation and I wasn't remotely close to trolling.


They are babies.

It's better if we don't care about if they post here or not for genuine conversation so as not to stoop to being childish in our thread.

Let their posts stay up in this thread.

Then don't add the cost to have it retract. And the consideration is baseball first. It is after all….a baseball stadium.

But I guess something has to pay the bills in October

Why don't you tell your brethren that an Astros fan coming to talk baseball on your thread is ok?

If it was one of us going on your thread to explain some thing about MMP, your guys would get their panties in a wad and have the post deleted.

I've actually wanted to join in on some conversations you guys have had, but haven't because I fear my posts will get deleted for "trolling" and I'll catch a ban.

That being said, appreciate the explanation and the run up to October will prove to be fun.

Eh.. some people would disagree with you on this. There's a lot of residual income from other events we are able to host, plus income from other development around the stadium. Not sure of the Astros situation in regards to other revenue streams, but it is definitely a competitive advantage not every team can say they have

I have no problem with you posting on our thread. We have a trash talk thread for the trolling. Not saying you've ever done that. I've personally enjoyed your contribution, and hope you make it up to GLF some time. I'll get you a beer if you do. Think I'm getting Farmer a beer for the next series if he tells me what game he's coming to

Any seat recommendations for the Tuesday and Wednesday night games? I'm going to both. Was thinking maybe behind stros pen. Mid range price is good

I guess ultimately it will depend on how long it holds up and the cost maintenance. Probably not a really big deal seeing as it's a sports franchise. Even the "poorest" franchises still make payroll. I will be interested to see it in 5-7 years and what it takes to maintain it as it gets older.

I bought tickets to the Tuesday game. Still ironing details.

Also I was very confused with the use of GLF because it means something very different on this thread.

Just very odd behavior. Don't appreciate getting the possibility of getting banned for just talking ball. I've seen bans given for less. Thought my insight would be appreciated but that's not the case lol

I believe we are scheduled to replace the turf either after this season or next season. Might be doing something special with it for the ASG

Seriously though I've still never made a visit to GLF. Need to do that. Already have trips planned to Wrigley, Miller and Petco next year.

Whatever reason won't let me PM. It says your username doesn't exist. Maybe you got the ban hammer
