    Was it scheduled to be open first ? Or, are you thinking what I'm thinking.


    Also, is astros daily down? Is that the only good astro board?

    Bud Selig is the biggest joke of a commissioner EVER!!!

    And YES, he is the reason the All-Star game got played in Milwaukee.

    Actually, Miller park was scheduled to be open the same season as Minute Maid Park. But they had a nasty crane accident that caused alot of damage to the stadium that they had to re-do, so it didnt up until the 2001 season.

    Also, Houston had an all-star game here, I believe in 1986. So we will actually have had 2 all-star games here in 18 years, while some teams have had none. Overall, its hard to complain. :D
