Delmar Stadium, Houston, TX
Delmar Stadium was home to the Houston Astros from 1962 through 1964. The stadium, located at the corner of Delmar and Scott streets in Houston's Third Ward, was the first home of the Astros franchise. The team played its first game at Delmar Stadium on April 10, 1962, defeating the visiting Chicago Cubs, 9-2.
The stadium had a capacity of 8,500 and was originally designed as a temporary home for the Astros while a new stadium was being built. However, construction delays on the new stadium (which would eventually become the Astrodome) meant that the Astros ended up playing three seasons at Delmar Stadium.
The stadium was not without its problems, however. The field was plagued by drainage issues, and there were often large puddles in foul territory. Additionally, the stands were made of wood, which made them susceptible to fire. In fact, one section of the stands actually caught fire during a game in 1963, though fortunately no one was injured.
Despite its problems, Delmar Stadium holds a special place in Astros history. It was the team's first home, and it hosted some of the franchise's earliest stars, including future Hall of Famer Nolan Ryan. The team played its final game at Delmar Stadium on September 20, 1964, defeating the Pittsburgh Pirates, 5-4.
