Houston Astros: What if every player had a cool fan section?
By Kyle Cardoza
Fan sections are currently hard to come by. But that can change for the Houston Astros, and it should. There are several ideas out there, so hopefully, someone player earns the right to have an entire section dedicated to them. Here are just a few ideas.
The Houston Astros are the reigning World Series champions. They deserve something nice, other than the trophy, which is housed in an important place.
Instead, every player deserves a fan section dedicated to them. ESPN’s David Schoenfield offered ideas for every baseball team.
But he didn’t go into much detail, and he primarily mentioned star players. Being that everyone on Houston’s 25-man roster plays a role in some way almost every day, they all deserve a section.
Not all of the players on the current roster battled against the Dodgers last season to win it all. However, it doesn’t mean they aren’t helping the club return to the playoffs.
For that reason, let them have their share of the fun too.
Most sections in ballparks across the country focus on star players. Yankee Stadium has the Judge’s Chambers, which is arguably the most famous one in the nation.
There are lots of opportunities for someone with loads of creativity to take this challenge and find a way to mix in non-noteworthy players in this too. That was my intention.
Nevertheless, some of the ideas that follow are bizarre, while some are pretty contemporary and understandable. Nobody’s perfect. Thus, some designs may lack creativity or uniqueness.
But this is just one person’s ideas. If other fans had to vote, surely there are thousands of other ideas that would be superb.
What’s important is that fan sections should become the norm throughout stadiums. And sometimes, it doesn’t have to be a star that earns the right to their very own section.
Now let’s have some fun.
