| Colt Stadium was a Major League baseball stadium that formerly stood in Houston, Texas. It was the home of the Houston Colt .45's. It was their temporary home from 1962-1964 while the Astrodome was being built nearby. The stadium consisted of an uncovered grandstand stretching from foul pole to foul pole and small bleacher stands in right and left field. It is best remembered for the horribly hot weather that necessitated building the first domed stadium.
The stadium was abandoned after the Astrodome was completed. It was later broken down and moved to Gomez Palacio to serve as the home of a Mexican League baseball team. A parking lot for the Astrodome now stands on the site.
