About The Houston Astros
In 1965 the Astros moved into their new domed stadium and the new park was coined the “Eight Wonder of the World” but in the team finished ninth in the standings. The Houston Astros tickets sold like hot cakes that season because baseball fans from far and wide came to see the Astrodome.
The team really struggled in the 1960’s to finish over .500 and ended the season embarrassingly near the bottom of the league, thus making fans with Houston Astros ticket lose hope. Fortunately for the team, Houston Astros ticket holders began to gain a little confidence in the team during the 1970’s when they finished second twice and third twice in ten years.
During the first twenty years, the team had a number of skilled players like Jimmy Wynn and Joe Morgan and pitchers Bob Bruce and Ken Johnson but this was not enough to take them to the playoffs. The Houston Astros tickets sales no longer depended on the attendance of the fans that came to see the Astrodome, but on the performance of the team. Thankfully, the 1980’s saw the team reach the playoffs three times but losing twice in the National League Championship Series, causing grief to fans with Houston Astros tickets. The 1980 season saw best line ups the Houston Astros ever had. The team dropped to third place in the division and were behind the Dodgers ands the Reds, but later bounced back with a 10 game winning streak that placed the Astros back in their rightful position (1st place) in the division, pleasing Houston Astros ticket holders.
The team proved to the Dodgers that they truly meant business by winning the first two games of the series which put the two teams tied for the first in the division. By the end of the season, the Astros held a three game lead over the dodgers. The Dodgers also swept three of their games too and both teams had to square off in a one game playoff the following day in order to see who would end up being the division champion. Houston Astros tickets holding fans wanted the team to win badly and were pleased when the team clinched the division title for the very first time.
