The Astros’ stadium is to be renamed Daikin Park through the 2039 season

HOUSTON – The home of the Houston Astros will get a new name on Jan. 1, becoming Daikin Park under a deal through the 2039 season, the team announced Monday.

The stadium opened as Enron Field in 2000 as part of a 30-year, $100 million deal, but the name was dropped in March 2002 after Enron Corp. filed for bankruptcy, and the ballpark briefly became Astros Field.

It was renamed Minute Maid Park in June 2002 as part of an agreement with The Minute Maid Co., a Houston-based subsidiary of The Coca-Cola Co. Then-Astros owner Drayton McLane said at the time that the deal was for 28 years and for more than $100 million.

The new agreement is with Daikin Comfort Technologies North America Inc., a subsidiary of Daikin Industries Ltd., which is based in Japan and is a leading air conditioning company.

Minute Maid will remain an Astros partner through 2029, the team said.
