Globe Life Field opened in 2020 in Arlington, Texas as the Rangers' new home, replacing the beloved but aging Globe Life Park next door. It holds around 40,300 fans under a retractable roof — a design decision shaped by Texas's extreme summer heat — with a natural grass playing surface and a climate-controlled interior that makes summer baseball genuinely comfortable. The roof's distinctive cable-and-glass design floods the interior with natural light even when closed.
Arlington is located between Dallas and Fort Worth, about 20 miles from each downtown, in a sprawling entertainment district that includes AT&T Stadium (home of the Cowboys) and several other attractions. The area is heavily car-dependent — there's no rail transit serving the stadium — so driving or ridesharing are the only practical options. The surrounding entertainment district has restaurants and bars, and the Rangers have built a strong fan base that fills the new park well on big game nights.
DFW is just 8 miles from Globe Life Field. Rideshare runs $15-25. No train serves Arlington, so drive or take a rideshare. TEXRail runs from DFW Terminal B to downtown Fort Worth, not to the ballpark.
ADA spaces are throughout the official lots. Accessible drop-off is near the main entrance. Contact the Rangers at (817) 533-1972 or rangers.com/accessibility.
Extensive on-site and adjacent parking in the Arlington Entertainment District, in multiple Rangers lots. Pre-purchase online for the best rates.
Tailgating in the surrounding lots is popular. Texas Live!, next to the ballpark, has indoor bars and restaurants as an alternative.
Arlington has no train or fixed-route bus service to Globe Life Field. The city's Via on-demand rideshare covers Arlington, and some Entertainment District hotels are on the Arlington Trolley route on event days. Most fans drive or take a rideshare.
The stadium is in a suburban Arlington sports complex with no residential neighborhood. Texas Live! and the entertainment campus are walkable once there, but you need a car or rideshare to arrive.
Bike parking is near the stadium. The Entertainment District has some cycling infrastructure but is impractical for most fans from Dallas or Fort Worth.
One factory-sealed water bottle, 1 liter or less.
Single-serving food in quart-sized zip-lock bags. No outside food in premium areas.
Soft-sided bags up to 16" x 16" x 8". No backpacks or hard-sided coolers. Medical and diaper bags allowed with inspection.
Globe Life Field opened in 2020 with a retractable roof built for Texas heat. Field level sections behind home plate have premium sightlines in a climate-controlled park. The Rangers dugout is on the first base side.
Upper deck mid-infield gives an elevated view of the full field at a big discount. Comfort is consistent from every section, so it comes down to sightlines and distance.
Skip the far upper deck corners, where the angle to the infield gets steep. The park is otherwise modern with no obstruction issues, and comfort is the same everywhere.
The roof is closed for most games from spring through early fall. When it is open, the right field/first base side faces west and gets the most afternoon sun.
Heat and humidity make the roof essential from roughly May through September, and the air conditioning is among the sport's best. Spring and fall games with the roof open are pleasant. The park opened in 2020, the newest retractable-roof stadium in baseball.
Main Concourse, Section 101 - Acclaimed Fort Worth BBQ. The beef rib is the star, so arrive early before they sell out.
Texas 24" Stand, Section 132 - The park's famous two-foot hot dog with chili, cheese, caramelized onions and jalapeños.
Upper Concourse, Sections 202-203 - Houston craft brewery bar with elevated field views. Try the Rodeo Clown IPA.
The Kids Zone presented by Primrose Schools is on the Centerfield Upper Concourse near Section 238. It has a free wiffle ballpark, climbing structures, speed-pitch and batting cages during games.
Alcohol-free family seating sections are near restrooms and concessions.
Rangers Captain, the horse mascot, appears throughout games. Kids 13 and under can run the bases after Sunday afternoon home games.
A gluten-free and kids concessions guide is published by the Rangers noting vegan and gluten-free kids items.

Changing tables: In all restrooms, plus family restrooms near most clusters.
Strollers (allowed): Collapsible strollers and car seats if they fit under your seat.

In the Stands offers apparel for fans who enjoy visiting ballparks and stadiums. While we all have our favorite teams, there are times when they aren't the ones playing. Our goal is to create a sense of community and camaraderie whenever you see someone wearing In the Stands apparel.
