No. Not really.
Minute Maid is East Downtown which is in the area of the George R Brown convention Center, with the whole area having heavy re-development in the last decade.
The football stadium is on the edge of the Medical Center, and that area is very dangerous during ANY evening. Heavy on crime, homeless and drugs.
Go NorthNorthEast from the football stadium and you're in Rice village and the Museum distract. Both nice areas. Slightly further NorthEast you cross into downtown and will eventually get to the Baseball stadium. Wander East, South or West of the football stadium at night, and you better be sure to have a will made out.
Houston has no zoning, so going from million dollar homes to slums can happen over a block area. You can put a church beside a strip club.....which is a reality in some places.
