I went to Minute Maid Park with my co-workers from work. The seats were $8 seats and weren't that bad. Sometimes, if there are empty seats, you can just move down a few (or more) rows and nobody cares.
The food is good (but pricey which is average) and the fans are great. It's really fun cheering for the Astros even if you don't know anything about baseball (me).
I really like the train that has all the oranges in it although, my cousin (not from Texas) thinks it's weird.
