Colt Stadium, Baseball stadium in Houston, United States
The outdoor stadium featured a single-tier grandstand stretching from foul pole to foul pole with additional bleacher sections in right and left field.
The Houston Colt .45s played their first Major League Baseball game at Colt Stadium on April 10, 1962, defeating the Chicago Cubs 11-2.
Players and fans endured extreme heat during summer games, with temperatures reaching beyond 100 degrees Fahrenheit on the metal seats and concrete surfaces.
The stadium contained 33,000 seats arranged in a horseshoe configuration, with multicolored sections distinguishing different seating categories throughout the facility.
After its closure in 1964, the entire stadium structure was dismantled and relocated to Mexico, where it served baseball teams in Torreon and Tampico.
