Is it open again? Been a couple years since we took the kids and they had it closed down. Curious if it's back during games?

My wife took my youngest there Saturday and said a few boys were on the railings slamming themselves into the netting that to her looked very flimsy. Not sure how secure those are, but she could seconds the chaos going on basically.

I'm guessing that thing will be gone whenever the stadium renovation occurs.

Yeah. Last season my (then) 10 year old wasn't allowed to go in unsupervised, yet there were at least 50 kids crawling on it while their parents were "near" watching the game.

I hope they keep the lawn seating. Some days that's the only place I want to be.

I have never understood why that area exists. If you need a babysitter so you can go watch a game, then hire one to come to your house.

I had the same mentality when it was built.
But after having kids, and wanting to go to games, it's great.

The lawn design for the right field line is perfect for that area. Especially, in consideration of the sun in your eyes.

I actually think it'd be less chaotic if they expanded it post reno. It's chaos because you get 30 kids trying to use one slide.

Get rid of it. It's a baseball game. If your kid can't watch the game then don't come. Or quit having kids.

This thread is so texags haha

A playground discussion turns into discussions of the chaos there, those for a playground and those against it.

It wreaks of kids today who have to be constantly entertained. Never had that crap when I was going to the astrodome as a kid. It's a baseball game. Those seats would be awesome if they had seats down there

But everyone is different. If we start winning they can put 20 of them around the stadium lol
