👕🚫 If you thought the 'Tarps Off' movement was slowing down ... think again. The rowdy arm of shirtless fans made it clear they'd be around all night long to cheer on the Astros as they worked their way to a comeback win over the Pirates.

The team is still hitting; pitching has steadied; the shirts are off... are the Astros about to make a run?

Residents say they're getting swarmed the moment they step outside, and experts say there's a reason.

🚫👕 The 'Tarps Off' sensation sweeping Major League Baseball has now hit Daikin Park... and one Chron reporter was even coerced into joining the movement, lest he face the wrath of the stadium's growing 'Tarps Off' crew 👀

Shirtless Astros fans swarmed one section of the upper deck of Houston's home ballpark Wednesday night, joining a trend that's becoming increasingly popular nationwide.

What started last week with a smattering of shirtless spectators morphed into a rowdy arms of shirtless fans, who waved their shirts above their head, started raucous chants and pounded more than their fair share of alcoholic beverages.

The number of shirtless fans climbed into the hundreds by the late innings Wednesday night.
