The Astros have confirmed conceptual plans for a proposed renovation of center field at Minute Maid Park following the 2016 season. Construction on the new center field area would begin immediately following the conclusion of the 2016 season and would be ready for fans to enjoy by the start of the 2017 season. The renovation will include improved seating options, new food and beverage options, the addition of escalators to improve fan access and revisions to the playing field, including the removal of Tal’s Hill.
