Minute Maid signage across the ballpark will be removed entirely in March, with the month's conclusion marking the official start of Daikin's reign as the Astros' stadium sponsor. Houston will host Juan Soto and the New York Mets on Opening Day, with first pitch on March 27 slated for 3:10 p.m. CT.

The work of removing the Houston Astros ballpark’s Minute Maid Park signs, some of which have been on the stadium for nearly 23 years, began Wednesday morning. Work crews removed signs on the Texas Avenue and Hamilton Street sides Wednesday with plans to start taking down the signage on the Crawford Street side of the stadium Thursday.
