Market Square to hold World Series viewing parties
Market Square is the place to be if you want to watch Game 1 tonight downtown in a big crowd:
The Downtown Entertainment District announced that the first viewing party will be held for the first game between the Astros and White Sox on Saturday.
Market Square Park and the adjacent parking lot will be transformed into Astros headquarters for both home and away games throughout the World Series pennant race, officials said.
The viewing parties will feature two screening areas, concessions and entertainment.
Patrons are invited to bring blankets to the events. However, no outside coolers, beverages, lawn chairs or pets are allowed.
The festival site will include street closures on Saturday and Sunday on Preston Street between Milam and Travis beginning at 3 p.m. Travis will close both days at 7 p.m. between Prairie and Congress, as well.
I kind of thought that maybe Minute Maid would be opened up (for a reduced price) so fans could watch the away games in the 'Stros' stadium. Ah well, it'll surely be a party downtown nonetheless, and the weather will be magnificent. Go 'Stros!
