The final piece of the east roof truss has been
installed at the new Globe Life Field in Arlington,
as overall construction for the project is now
approximately 65 percent complete.
This final piece of the east truss, located on the
northeast portion of the site, weighs 922,300
pounds.
Now that the east roof truss installation is
complete, retractable roof construction will
follow. The retractable portion of the roof
will add an additional 65 feet of height to the
structure.
The roof will use a total of 19,000 tons of steel
and span 5.5 acres. Roof construction started in
late fall 2018, and is expected to be completed
by the end of 2019.
