My dad took me to a few games at Colt Stadium. Most in Houston were just happy to finally have a team. The conditions fans had to endure there were horrible. The heat, humidity, bugs, and mosquitoes made for an unpleasant experience. To make matters worse, The Colt 45's were a grab-bag of old timers ending their careers ( Robin Roberts, Nellie Fox) and a host of players few ever heard of. They were barely able to best the Mets as the better shit in MLB. The ballpark was dismantled and shipped to Mexico when the Dome opened. What a contrast in parks.
