Rangers could play in new, air-conditioned ballpark in 2021 season

ARLINGTON

The Texas Rangers could be playing in a new, air-conditioned ballpark in Arlington by Opening Day of the 2021 season, club and city officials said Friday.

“The Texas Rangers have chosen to stay in Arlington,” Mayor Jeff Williams announced at Arlington City Hall. Texas Rangers owner Ray Davis said it’s critical that the Rangers have a stadium with a roof. Max Faulkner Star-Telegram archives

City officials and the Rangers have agreed on a plan to build a stadium with a retractable roof that would be funded in part by tax dollars that are currently being used to pay off AT&T Stadium, the next-door home of the Dallas Cowboys.

The stadium will be built in parking lots A and B south of Globe Life Park and connected to a separate $200 million development of shops and restaurants known as Texas Live!, where patrons could have a view of ball games from an outfield courtyard area.

They moved from Arlington Stadium to the Ballpark at Arlington. Nice place but still hot as hell.

If it wasn't for 10 cent beer and cheap bleacher seats I would never have gone to all those games in the 70's. Well, Billy Martin and Fergie Jenkins helped too.
