Houston Astros Rename Ballpark to Daikin Park After 15-Year Deal

The iconic Minute Maid Park signage is being replaced as the Astros partner with Japanese air-conditioning giant Daikin for naming rights.

  • The Houston Astros' downtown ballpark has officially been renamed Daikin Park as of January 1, 2025, under a 15-year naming rights agreement with Daikin Comfort Technologies.
  • Construction crews began removing the iconic Minute Maid Park signage on February 5, 2025, with new Daikin branding already being installed across the stadium.
  • This marks the third name change for the ballpark, which was originally called Enron Field in 2000 before becoming Minute Maid Park in 2002 after the Enron scandal.
  • The Astros are reportedly considering auctioning or selling the removed Minute Maid Park signage to fans, offering them a chance to own a piece of team history.
  • Interior renovations, including updates to the stadium's famous train, are ongoing and will be revealed during the Astros' Opening Day on March 27, 2025.
