Houston Astros Announces New Ballpark Naming Rights Partnership with Daikin Comfort Solutions

The Houston Astros and Daikin Comfort Technologies North America Inc (Daikin) has announced an agreement on a 15-year, exclusive naming-rights partnership that brands the home of the Astros as Daikin Park.

The agreement is effective Jan. 1, 2025, and will run through the 2039 season, and includes official naming rights, other partnership benefits, and giving back to the Greater Houston community through educational programming and youth sports development in underserved communities.

Daikin constructed and operates a 4.2 million-square-foot campus, the largest HVAC manufacturing facility in North America (Daikin Texas Technology Park), in Waller, Texas, a part of the Greater Houston community. Daikin provides jobs for approximately 10,000 people in the Greater Houston area.

In addition to Daikin products, the company also provides Goodman, Amana, and Quietflex brand products, three of the most well-known and respected brands for HVAC in North America.

Overall, Daikin has invested more than $1 billion in the Houston area, including more than $500 million in building Daikin Texas Technology Park. Also, in August 2024, Daikin launched an initiative with the City of Houston to equip low-to-moderate income homes with advanced air conditioning and heating solutions, providing more comfort and energy efficiency for homeowners. Daikin is always looking for new ways to support their community and to create innovative technologies, with an unwavering commitment to making sustainable and responsible choices.

The partnership between the Astros and Daikin will enable the franchise to continue to invest in stadium amenities, as the organization is always looking to improve and make the gameday experience better for all fans. The partnership also includes community initiatives aimed at continuing and creating deep connections between the Astros, Daikin and the Houston community.

The stadium had been named Minute Maid Park since 2002. Minute Maid will continue to be a partner of the Houston Astros through 2029. 

The first game at Daikin Park will be played on Monday, March 24, 2025 as the Astros host Triple-A affiliate Sugar Land in an exhibition game. The Astros will then open the 2025 regular season at 3:10 p.m. Thursday, March 27, 2025, against the New York Mets at Daikin Park.
