In 2022, the Astros won the World Series championship after facing off against the Philadelphia Phillies in a six-game series.
The Houston First Corporation (HFC), a local government organization, is working to maximize the potential benefit of the Astros' appearance in the ALCS.
HFC operates the George R. Brown Convention Center and some of the city's most prominent art and entertainment venues.
