The Astros College
Classic will once again be held in conjunction with the Astros Fanfest
on the weekend of February 13, 14 & 15, 2004. Fanfest will be staged on the club level
of Minute Maid park during the Saturday and Sunday games. It features an area
for pictures with Astros players, autograph booths, and a memorabilia
show. Fans holding tickets to Saturday or Sunday's games get into Fanfest free of
charge. It has always been really a neat event and the Astros have hosted this
tournament every year since 2001. The four Texas Big XII teams are on a
rotating basis and 2004 is Tech's year once again, after attending in
both 2001 and 2002.
All
seats are general admission and a tournament pass is $30. Single game
tickets are $12. Click

We have arranged for cheap hotel rooms close to the ballpark for anyone
interested in a $79 room. The Hyatt Regency Houston is the hotel and you
can call (713) 654-1234 or (800) 233-1234 for reservations. Say that you
are interested in the Minute Maid College Classic Fans block.
(Tell them you are from Texas Tech.) The cut-off date for this offer is
1/22/04. This location is only 10-15 blocks from Minute Maid Field. As a
reference, in 2001 we arranged a hotel bargain like this and we
paid a very similar rate for a hotel about 8 miles from the stadium. If
you're interested in being downtown close to the park, this is the way
to go. For
