The third home park in the history of the Texas Rangers franchise, Globe Life Field opened in 2020 at 734 Stadium Drive in the Arlington Entertainment District. The 1.2-billion-dollar, 1.8-million-square-foot retractable-roof stadium was designed by HKS Architects with exterior brickwork inspired by the historic missions of the San Antonio area, produced by a Fort Worth company. At its highest point, the roof reaches 278 feet above the playing field. Overall capacity is approximately 40,300 across seven seating levels. The facility was designed to bring fans closer to the action: the main concourse is just 160 feet from the field, compared to 174 feet at the previous Globe Life Park. Six entry points provide access from all sides of the building. The playing surface is artificial turf, a rare choice for a modern MLB ballpark. Field dimensions measure 329 feet down the left-field line, 407 feet to centre, and 326 to right. The stadium is funded through a public-private partnership between the Rangers and the City of Arlington, with the city's contribution capped at 500 million dollars and funded by sales, hotel, and car-rental taxes. The Rangers' lease extends through January 1, 2054. Globe Life Field hosted the 2020 World Series and sits directly across the street from its predecessor, now known as Choctaw Stadium. Amenities include 17 flexible event spaces, numerous concession stands and restaurants, and a wide main concourse that circles the entire ballpark. The retractable roof allows games and events to proceed regardless of Texas heat and weather, solving the summer-comfort problem that plagued the Rangers' outdoor predecessors. The Arlington Entertainment District surrounding the park includes AT&T Stadium (home of the Dallas Cowboys), Choctaw Stadium, and the Texas Live entertainment district.
