Globe Life Field

It sucks compared to the Ballpark. Super generic, sight lines aren't great for a modern park, and the atmosphere isn't as good.

Life Park and ya it's hot but never found it terrible.

I did. Third base line was uninhabitable for at least 5 innings

Curious how those who've actually been it in feel.

Climate controlled

It is the single worst baseball stadium I’ve ever been to. Hard to imagine designing something less fan friendly.

1. There is zero fan to player interaction because the field is so far down in a well. No kid will ever get an autograph or a tossed ball at this stadium.
2. when the roof is closed it feels like an airport hanger with even less charm,
3. the food options are atrocious. You go to a game in Cleveland, for example, and the outfield is a large concourse with open flame grills cooking brats, hot dogs, peppers and onions. Nothing like that exists.
4. The soulless grift of the concourses is impressive. You can buy a real cork from the a champagne bottle used in a locker celebration for $60 at the team store.
5. It is in the middle of nowhere America in a sea of parking lots with the carcasses of old stadiums next door.
6. For the reasons stated above, you will be in a largely empty tin box as a fan wondering how in the world they screwed this up so badly if you go.


On the other hand, first rate conferences rooms for your next corporate event do exist with great views of the field.

good. hopefully we’ll have less traveling fans(read:people who left places that sucked bad enough that they end up in middle of nowhere America)

your words. not mine

Love it, in summer I love a game there. It was insane they played without a roof for so long.

They really couldn’t just put a roof over The Ballpark in Arlington?

I’m not this negative on it, but I do think building a big indoor box like that makes it lack character. But that’s what people wanted.

I wanna go sit down on the lower field level at some point in the expensive seats. Maybe I’ll feel different after doing that.

The interior is generic and the exterior design sucks. Looks like the hangar for a blimp

Was there a few weeks ago and that’s what stuck out to me. Inside it’s nice enough, but the outside of it looks like a shed.

Grew up watching games with dad at old Arlington Stadium which was terrible but I didn’t know any better.

The Ballpark was amazing. All of the seats pointed toward home plate. And the place was just gorgeous. The home run porch was a blast. MLB screwed or up by making the Rangers play day games. They used to not play them at all between June and August.

The new ballpark is an eyesore. Agree that the field is too low. I refuse to go to a game there because they screwed up the design so badly.

It's kind of a shame, Ballpark in Arlington was a great modern park with classic charm, like Camden. Globe Life seems soulless.

Now that I think about it, a soulless ballpark fits Dallas perfectly
