Play Ball! Astros home opener forecast, and a Reliant giveaway

The Houston Astros play their home opener for the 2022 Major League Baseball season this evening. Matt and I are both baseball fans, so we’re pretty excited. This year is even more special since our sponsor, Reliant, is now the Official Energy Provider for the Houston Astros. Thanks to Reliant, we’re giving away two great prize packages consisting of: two tickets to an upcoming game, a newly launched City Connect “Space City” jersey, and Reliant/Astros swag. First, let’s start with the weather.

Opening Day Weather

The Astros could not ask for better weather at game time, 7:10 pm CT, for their home opener with the Los Angeles Angels. Game time temperature will be in the mid-70s, with mostly clear skies, and moderate northeasterly winds. After the game the temperature likely will drop to the upper 60s. So basically, perfect weather for evening baseball. Enjoy!

Reliant powers Minute Maid Park and Astros Fans

As part of becoming the Astros’ Official Energy Provider, Reliant has a special electricity plan with some perks specifically for Astros fans, including a $100 Astros gift card that can be used toward tickets, team gear, concessions and more and an invitation to a unique Astros autograph session, plus, of course, a great electricity price locked in for the length of your term (more details here).

They have also installed 13 Reliant Charging Stations throughout Minute Maid Park, allowing fans to charge their phones on the go and without being tethered to one spot, which is new for the ballpark.

Giveaway

We’re also able to offer a special giveaway for Space City Weather readers. To win two tickets to the April 23 game, the new City Connect “Space City” jersey, and Reliant/Astros swag, please enter the giveaway we’re hosting on our Facebook page. Two winners will be chosen at random tomorrow (Tuesday) at 7 a.m. CT and announced here and on Facebook. We’ll then connect the winners with Reliant for all the details. Good luck and go Astros!
