Houston College Baseball Classic set
In most parts of the country, baseball fans have to wait until the beginning of spring training in late February to get their baseball fix.
But here in Houston, we don't have to wait that long. We have the Houston College Classic at Minute Maid Park in early February each year. This year's classic will be on the weekend of February 9 and will include teams from local powerhouses Rice and Houston, as well as from Texas A&M, Baylor, Arizona State and Vanderbilt.
The Stros also coordinate their annual Fun Fest at Minute Maid Park to coincide with the College Classic. Although some games during the weekend attract big crowds (say, 20,000 or so), the crowds are usually not bad. If you enjoy baseball you've never been to the College Classic, check it out. The Stros do a good job of putting it on.

One of the best baseball tournaments I have ever attended; it's become a don't-miss.
(Pssst: Club seats only twenty bucks. Diamond box seats only thirty bucks.)
