The Astros said today that their planned renovations at Minute Maid Park, including the removal of Tal’s Hill, will not take place as scheduled for the 2016 season.
Team officials said that with the Astros’ advance into the American League wild card and Division Series, they determined during discussions with contractors that the timeline for completion would be too risky to attempt to make renovations for next season.
Astros spokeswoman Anita Seghal said the team will evaluate what changes can be made to the ballpark for 2016, given the available time, but an announcement on those plans will not be made until later.
