1. Houston’s space shuttle snub still stings a little.
2. Not a math expert here, but seems the Skeeters are drawing more people these days than the ‘Stros.
The Skeeters are selling a reasonably priced product in a lovely ballpark with easy, free parking. There’s very little extra commercial nonsense, just good seats close to the action. For the baseball fan on a budget (and who isn’t these days) it’s so much better of a deal than the Astros it’s not even funny.
