in 1964, the cocoa expo sports center (cocoa stadium) was built for the colt 45s spring baseball training and grapefruit league games. the team later became the houston astros. in the early 1980s, the city attempted to upgrade the stadium by asking the astros to pay for needed repairs. in 1985, the team responded by moving its training to osceola county stadium in kissimmee. as a result, it was decided that future negotiations with major league teams would be done by the county government.
