Summary
Aug. 18 will bring the Space Cowboys' first 'Nothing Night,' when the Triple-A Astros affiliate hosts Oklahoma City with no music, Jumbotron videos, between-inning entertainment or public-address announcements.
Garrett Greene said the idea is to strip away distractions for one game and put the crowd's attention entirely on the baseball itself.
Concessions and bathrooms will still operate, but the club is dropping the more extreme version tried by Lake Elsinore in 2008, which Greene said included free admission, closed concession stands and locked restrooms.
Manual scoring and other essentials will remain in place — including balls, strikes, outs and pitch information — so the game still functions normally despite the no-frills presentation.
