No more Minute Maid Park: Astros’ stadium renamed in Houston [Video]

HOUSTON — The Houston Astros pitched a change-up on Monday, catching fans by surprise. The team announced that Minute Maid Park would be renamed “Daikin Park.” 

Daikin Comfort Technologies purchased the naming rights for 15 seasons and the name change will become official in January 2025 through the 2039 season.

The Astros were working on updating the stadium signage and branding, including a new logo shaped like a baseball diamond. 

KHOU 11 asked what the train will now hold when the name officially changes. It’s known for carrying oranges, a nod to Minute Maid, as it chugs across the track above left field after every home run. Owners said the new cargo would be unveiled on Opening Day. The Astros home opener is set for March 27, 2025.
