Don't feel too bad, Texan. I never watched them play, but I was around when the Colt 45's played too. Guess we're both older than dirt!

I remember the Colt 45's just never went to a game. I remember the Astrodome being built out in an empty field. Nothing around there that I remember except the OST when going to Edna. That city sure has exploded.

yep ~ the Colt 45 stadium was south of the land where the Astrodome was being built -

I think it was on 288....back in the day -

You could watch the dome going up from the Colt 45 stadium -

btw: were you from Edna?

Not from Edna. My dad used to deer hunt there and I would go with him.

I can remember when Houston had an end and you actually drove to Sugarland, then on to Edna. Now Houston has reached way out there. I was about 11 when we used to go down there. Around 1963 or so. I've been down 59 but haven't gone through Edna, Gretna, or any of those places in years.

The owner says he won't change the name due to public response!

Cool
