<p>I agree both Stadiums in Texas were spread out, but no different than any other big city. We always get a rental car when flying somewhere, its just nice not having to depend on Public transportation. We learned the hard way in Cali that just because a bus will take you to the stadium they may not have one to pick you up and that means walking 2.5 miles with 2 little kids at dark. (Not fun or safe feeling.) While in Houston we stayed at the Holiday Inn Houston Downtown hotel. It was very…</p>

(Not fun or safe feeling.) While in Houston we stayed at the Holiday Inn Houston Downtown hotel. It was very very nice. About 3/4 mile walk from the stadium, which we didn't mind. Had a nice pool and hot tub which we had to ourselves and complimentary Lemonade, milk, and cookies in the afternoon which the kids loved. In traveling to any new city, its always best to check and double check how your going to navigate the city and to the spots you want to visit. Usually hotel staff are very nice over the phone and helpful in figuring out if public transportation will be easy or if renting a car would be better. Hope you better travels this year!

<p>This being my home ballpark I have to agree with pretty much everything but I have a few recommendations. 1st thing when coming to Houston rent a car your going to need it. You can stay downtown or use light rail but between the downtown hotels/ light rail and Minute Maid are couple of places were the bums congregate. 2nd Bunch of nice Hotels in Downtown if you want to save some money that rental car can get you to cheaper but still nice alternatives in Galleria area and its easier to avoid…</p>

Nightlife you are going to need that car again its kind of spread out. Food Goode Company BBQ on Kirby, el tiempo for fajitas. I also would make the same recommendation for Rangers everything is very spread out.</p> This is a good summation of t…tag:www.ballparkchasers.com,2013-10-06:1681163:Comment:1637652013-10-06T11:28:35.639ZJim Wood (46 MLB)https://www.ballparkchasers.com/profile/JimWood
This is a good summation of the Houston experience. There is a lot of potential to spruce up the area surrounding MMP and downtown for that matter. That area is just so spread out that it makes it difficult to stay in one location the entire time. Nice work!
