message: 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)

message: 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?

message: 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)

message: Did Hurricake Ike have impacts on Minute Maid Park? If it did — aside from the fact games were postponed or moved at around the time of the storm, although notable — then this article should include information about the impacts of Hurricane Ike on the park.

message: Hello, I'm cleaning up the cats for Coke articles.  Since Minute Maid is the juice brand of Coca-Cola, I added the same cats I did for other stadiums the company sponsors.  Since I don't know if it's common knowledge who owns MM, I just wanted to explain what I was doing.  If anyone has suggestions for further improvements to the cats/templates, I'm always happy to refine them futher.RevelationDirect (talk) 04:32, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

message: wouldn't be nice to have a phone number for Minute Maid Park in an easy to locate section of this article???  I think so.
Also, trying to figure out the optimal parking section and entrance for a specific seating section would be REALLY nice...  Thanks.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.198.82.210 (talk) 00:32, 24 September 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I know this is really late to respond to this, but I figured I might as well do so for those who stumble across it later.  Phone numbers, parking, etc. is not appropriate for an encyclopedia article. Have a read at WP:NOTGUIDE to understand how Wikipedia is not a guidebook.  Thanks!

message: The piece states that, "In 2004, the Astros launched Wi-Fi throughout the ballpark, allowing fans to use the Internet while attending a game for a fee..."  The wi-fi can be used by fans who pay for a ticket and for fans who might get in for free. Maybe this wacky syntax should be reworked to something more clear, such as : In 2004, the Astros launched Wi-Fi throughout the ballpark, allowing fans to use the Internet for a fee while attending a game...  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.27.133.111 (talk) 03:18, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

message: How has it been that for almost three years, this article has claimed, through its categorization, that MMP is on the National Register of Historic Places, without anything in the article supporting it, without it being on the WP:NRHP worklist, or any of the four sublists of National Register of Historic Places listings in Houston. I mean, it was built in 2000, way earlier than the 50 years the NPS usually likes something to have before it will even consider listing the property. This should have been something that clearly needed citations before being added to the article and shouldn't have passed the smell test without them ... , who added this, is a quality editor, so this wasn't sneaky vandalism. The most charitable guess I can make is that there was some confusion between MMP and its predecessor, the Astrodome, which has subsequently been listed on the Register. But that still looks sloppy.
I am removing the two categories before they further embarrass the project, but really ... that's not enough; we need to understand why we made this mistake so we don't make it again. Daniel Case (talk) 20:56, 8 July 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: I think it’s because Union Station, which MMP was basically integrated into, has been listed since the 1970s. I’m not sure of the exact relationship between MMP and Union Station and I have no opinion on this specific matter, but I’d bet that’s where the intent of that edit was.
