    what is that? a picture for ants??

    it looks like a flowchart.

    I guess more advertising makes up for allowing fans to bring in food. there truly is no such thing as a free lunch, especially when you ugly up the park. =/

    Yuck! We don't have the prettiest skyline, but that's awful. Removing the train just for a bunch of ads? And I like the hill. It gives our park something unique compared to everyone's else.

    Oh well, Astros already killed what little identity they had by moving into the AL. Might as well go all the way.

    I think people forget why most of these guys get into owning teams; to make Money.

    I hate the train. Bring back "space" to the Astros. Get rid of Junction jack and bring back Orbit.

    I love the hill it comes it play maybe once a month? Very cool when somebody makes a great catch and I don't recall anybody getting hurt.

    The signs are a eyesore but hard to knock him when there's 20k coming to the games....

    theres nothing wrong with ads.. this just looks completely horrible... 12 little squares?? wtf is that. would have been better as one giant billboard. there replacing an ad with another ad, so the whole owners are here to make money thing doesnt hold water as to why this POS is going up. the astros just renewed the contract with citgo, so the citgo sign will be put somewhere else.. this eyesore could have been put elsewhere.. terrible decision..

    they could have just added a smaller lcd type screen and digitally displayed the "sponsors".. and how much of this revenue is for the astros? the plan is that its going to help build parks in houston..

    I'd be more than fine with that move.

    Signs look stupid however.
