Globe Life Field opened in 2020 as the new home of the Texas Rangers.

To protect Texas Ranger fans from the scorching heat of the Texas summers, the City of Arlington and the Texas Rangers Baseball Club entered into a public-private partnership to construct a climate controlled, multi-purpose venue.  

With a retractable roof which can be open when weather cooperates and closed for adverse weather, Globe Life Field is a welcome relief for fans who have endured years of Texas summers to watch the Rangers play.

With a seating capacity of 40,300, it is smaller than its predecessor, Globe Life Park.  The seating bowl was designed to pull fans closer to the field providing a more intimate feel.  

Globe Life Field opened during the pandemic of 2020, hosting the National League playoffs and the World Series.  Designed to easily convert for rodeo, it was host to the 10-day national rodeo finals in 2020.  In addition to 81 Ranger home games, Globe Life Field will host hundreds of other events during the year.  To learn more, visit the Globe Life Field website.
