LAND ACQUIRED
FOR BALLPARK
CONSTRUCTION
STAGING SITE
The Rangers and the City of Arlington worked
together to acquire a nearly 3-acre parcel along
Division Street to facilitate construction of the new
Texas Rangers ballpark.
The vacant lot at 1717 E. Division Street, which is
south of the future ballpark, is being leased to the
Texas Rangers for use as a temporary staging site
for construction equipment. The Rangers have the
option to develop the site after the new ballpark
opens in 2020.
Site excavation for the retractable-roof ballpark is
expected to begin later this summer. The ballpark
will be built on what are currently team parking lots
south of Randol Mill Road, south of Globe Life Park in
Arlington’s Entertainment District.
