PRIOR EVENTS, 2012

Event:



​For those of you who are unaware, with the Astros move to the American League beginning in the 2013 season, the easy days of watching other great National League teams play in Minute Maid Park is nearly over. So, with your guests join the
Houston Illini Club as we watch the Houston Astros play, possibly for their last time in Minute Maid Park:

  • The Chicago Cubs on Tuesday, September 11th!! 

  • The World Series Champion St. Louis Cardinals on Saturday, May 5th.  The Cardinals off to a 5 and 1 start. David Freese is filling the void of Albert Pujols, and they still have big bats with Matt Holiday and former Astros Lance Berkman. While it's too early to know who will be pitching, Adam Wainwright is back after missing the 2011 Season.  Additionally, the Houston Astros are playing well too.  It will be one of the last times the Cardinals come to Houston as the Astros are moving to the AL West next year.

  • The Chicago White Sox on Tuesday, April 3rd.

For the remaining game the Houston Illini Club has reserved a block of fifty well placed group Field Box seats, all hugely discounted off the normal $41 price.

To participate in this great opportunity, and to enjoy these games with the pleasure of fellow Illini, please send your payment to the club by August 28, 2012 to: UIAC of Houston, P.O.
