Houston Astros: What if every player had a cool fan section?

Mad Max Stassi’s Fury-ous Fan Section

What a lovely day, indeed.

But this section has plenty of water to disperse out to fans — hopefully, anyone reading this understands what I’m talking about.

There’s a guy playing a wacky guitar hooked to massive speakers in one part. And if the guitarist can play the Star-Spangled Banner every once in a while, that’d be a plus.

Though having televisions mounted on walls replaying scenes from the recent flick would be entertaining, and kind of crazy, fans would get distracted. They came to watch the Astros win.

Nevertheless, there would be one day during the season dedicated to the flick. That would surely inspire some interesting costumes, right?

Gattis’ Grub Hub

I’m not sure if Evan Gattis is a huge food connoisseur. But no matter, it would be an appealing section to just about anyone.

And here’s the catch – the food comes to you, hence “Grub Hub.” Surely, some of the more premier sections at the stadium have this perk, but these could be more affordable.

Minute Maid Park has several goodies for fans of every age too. And the chefs on staff made significant changes before the season began.

Most notable are the newest hot dog options. The Caribbean dog features all of the refreshing toppings of a light summer salad mixed with bold braised pork. Meanwhile, if Houston fans want to represent their state well, they will go for the pulled pork and bacon barbecue dog.

Of course, Gattis would get to choose a new special each week. And even on one of his days off, have the guy cook – even if he’s bad at it.

Old Man McCann’s Place

Being the oldest player on the club isn’t a bad thing. It might lead to some ridicule from his younger teammates.

Now, this is exaggerating, but having a diner-like, retro section could be pretty cool. Even if McCann doesn’t like it, well he’s not the marketing supervisor, so he has no say.

Neither do I, but imagination is a fun exercise.

Astros teammates could make McCann feel much older than he is by helping determine how to decorate the area. Black-and-white television with a side of a soda bar with fizzy pop shooting out of fountains.

Or the team can be much nicer to the older veteran and only reference popular media from his days as a teenager. Either way, this would be a fun section in my book.
