“It won’t be this year. It would be after next year,” Ryan said of the potential facelift. “People talk about Tal’s Hill. ‘Is Tal’s Hill going away?’ We’re going to look at designs of, ‘What would that look like if we took it away?’”

We’re going to do something in the outfield. I don’t know what exactly that means yet: could be Tal’s Hill. It could be bullpens. It could be adding cabooses to the train. It could be adding something in center field of meaning. It could be putting in a Hall of Fame.

“Could we now go underground and could you put fans in the old bullpen the visitors were in (in left field), and do we move the other one to right field? We want something substantial where people go out and go, ‘Oh, It’s Minute Maid Park 2.0.’”

Bigger changes lie ahead following the 2015 season, when the Astros renovate the areas behind the center-field wall, including the possible removal of Tal’s Hill and repositioning of the bullpens. There could even be a Hall of Fame area and a plaza outside the ballpark….

One of the best features coming on the club level is the removal of the ticket office along the third-base side. That area will be opened up, giving fans a view outside the stadium on to Texas Avenue.

“The ballpark is so beautiful and has all of this tremendous architecture,” Braithwaite said. “We want people to look out and in, and just experience the daylight and the sun or the lights shining through the window at night.”
