Houston Astros announce the name change of Minute Maid Park What was once known as "the juice box" by local Houstonians will become "the ice box." On Monday, The Houston Astros announced that its iconic Minute Maid Park would change its name to Daikin Park due to a new naming rights deal, for which financial details have yet to be disclosed. Founded in 1924, Daikin Industries (DKILF) is a huge Japan-based air conditioning company with a North American distribution center in Houston, Texas, and a manufacturing plant in Waller, Texas, northwest of downtown Houston. This Japanese company bought the name rights to the ballpark for 15 seasons, officially starting in January 2025. The deal runs through 2039. This massive name change comes with some expensive updates, as the Astros now have to remove all Minute Maid logos from the ballpark and replace them with a brand new logo and branding that better resembles its new name. These renovations will be unveiled on the Astros' Opening Day, which will take place Mar. 27, 2025. "The Houston Astros and Daikin share the same values, a commitment to excellence and a desire to give back to our local community. As we celebrate the 25th anniversary of this ballpark in 2025, I am proud to have Daikin alongside us to create even more special memories for our fans now and in the future,” said Owner and Chairman of the Houston Astros, Jim Crane. Loyal Houston Astros fans react to the shocking news Although the announcement is big for the Houston Astros since Daikin will allow the ballpark to continue functioning as its main sponsor, loyal Astros fans are not as thrilled by the shocking news. The Houston Astros took to X to announce the news about the ballpark's name change, and loyal baseball fans were devastated. Users on the social media platform flooded the comment section with comments like: "A crime against all that is decent" and "What have y'all done????" Another user and proud Houstonian expressed her anger by commenting: "Terrible name. This company has virtually no footprint in this country. Just a money grab for the Astros. Nothing more. No connection to our city." Many Houston locals who grew up referring to the ballpark as "the juice box" expressed their sadness with one commenting: "So you literally can't call it the juice box anymore. I hate sponsorships." Astros fans who refuse to acknowledge the ballpark's new name commented: "It'll always be Minute Maid Park for me." and "It's still Minute Maid Park." Houston Astros make a shocking business move and fans are devastated

It tells me that their profit margin is not that big and you are sidetracked by something that really isn't out of line .... There are a lot of things we should be concerned about with healthcare administration and soaring costs .... Their gross profits is not near the top of the list .... -

With Barnes playing on offense, the defense won't be on the field nearly as much ... takes a lot of pressure off their defense .... against Joaquin, the defense was gasses .... -

Do you realize how big an industry "healthcare" is? .... It dwarfs most of the largest companies on America .... $88 billion is only around 3% profit .... that's really quite small compared to GM, IBM or other large companies profit margins .... your flippant dismissal of this fact is quite telling .... -

KirtFalcon replied to Sportsfanatic1's topic in Political Arena
You are looking at it from the wrong perspective .... If their profit margin was as high as most businesses, that $88 billion would look like chicken feed .... People see that huge number and assume they are price gouging .... same thing with Big Oil .... Why don’t people complain about companies that make 50 or 60% profit ? ..... The librard Dims and their Media buddies attack health care profits because they want government controlled Healthcare ... they want control of the $$$$ ..... tru storie ..... -

This is the key to the whole operation .... if you don't secure the border first, nothing else matters and you are just pissing in the wind .... Key to the operation is stopping them at the border .... stopping the illegal border crossings, stopping the drug cartels and human trafficking .... The Border Patrol isn't up to the job .... that first has to be understood by all .... they are out manned, out gunned and woefully under equipped ..... it's going to take the MILITARY to stop the illegal crossings and secure the border .... Until this is done .... talking about mass deportations is just all talk ....
