Yep. The Twins, Orioles and Yankees all used to sometimes visit the Astrodome for preseason games. Perhaps others as well.

As a Brewer fan, I'd love the move back to the AL. The White Sox rivalry could easily be rekindled and Miller Park is more of an AL type stadium. Also, without the Cubs in their division, Milwaukee would actually have 81 home games. For those who aren't aware, Cubs fans call Miller Park, Wrigley North.

When I go to a game I could care less what hat anyone is wearing.

I think it's similar to when you go to a concert. There certain etiquette guidelines that some people (not necessarily me) have like you're not spoze to wear a shirt of the band that is playing, or a band shirt of a totally different genre, etc.

Some people care, most don't. Just like at baseball games

??? I think you just made up those etiquette guidelines. I have a '71 Astros jacket (a real one), a hat, a Clemens Astros jersey and a Petitte Astros jersey (both bought as f.u.'s to the Yankees), and I'll be wearing some subset of them at most every game I go to, just because I'm an Astros fan. In fact, I plan on getting a home cap and a hoodie as well, and possibly a home '60s throwback jersey. We will lose most games, and Mariners fans can laugh at me. Who cares? I'm going to have fun, as I always have.

Scott <=== Astros and baseball fan, no matter what stadium I'm in.

I just went to see the Foo Fighters on 11/7. For the life of me I couldn't tell you what shirt anyone but myself (Polo golf shirt) had on. I guess things are a little more laid back where I have been. My take is if someone is spoiling for trouble they'll find it shirts and hats notwithstanding. Typically alcohol and a general lack of decorum suffice.
