Astros Stadium to Be Renamed Daikin Park

The Houston Astros' home stadium, formerly known as Minute Maid Park, will be renamed Daikin Park starting January 1, 2025, following a new 15-year naming rights agreement with Daikin Comfort Technologies North America Inc., a subsidiary of Japan's Daikin Industries Ltd. The transition marks the end of over two decades of association with Minute Maid, a subsidiary of The Coca-Cola Co., which had secured naming rights after Enron Field's collapse in 2002. Despite the name change, Minute Maid will remain a partner with the Astros until 2029. Daikin, a leading air conditioning manufacturer with significant operations in Houston, aligns with the Astros in community and excellence values, as emphasized by Astros owner Jim Crane. The first game under the new Daikin Park name will be an exhibition match on March 24, 2025, followed by the regular season opener against the New York Mets on March 27.
