Rangers Fans Share Favorite
Memories at Globe Life Park in
Arlington
T
housands of fans filled Globe Life Park in Arlington
and the City's world-class Entertainment District
for the Texas Rangers’ home opener against the
Chicago Cubs, the final Opening Day at Globe Life Park.
Hours before the game started, MyArlingtonTV asked
Rangers fans all about their best Globe Life Park
memories since the ballpark's first Opening Day on April
1, 1994. Check out the video above to hear some of their
favorite moments over the past 25 years.
The 48th Governor of Texas, Greg Abbott, threw out the
ceremonial first pitch prior to the season opener. Former
Arlington Mayor Richard Greene, who was instrumental
in the building of The Ballpark in Arlington during his
tenure as the City’s Mayor from 1987-97, caught the
first pitch. Mayor Greene had the honor of throwing the
ceremonial first pitch prior to the first regular season
game at The Ballpark in Arlington on April 11, 1994.
You’ll never go wrong with peanuts and Cracker
Jacks. But there plenty of new options on the menu
at Globe Life Park in Arlington.
The Texas Rangers’ concession service just unveiled
its new dishes for the 2019 season, and there’s truly
something for everyone.
The “Fowl Pole” is a two-pound chicken tender
served over a bed of french fries. It’s designed to
feed a family, but feel free to put your appetite to
the test.
There are also bacon-wrapped chicken wings, a hot
dog with team spirit (it’s covered in red and blue
relish) and street tacos.

Globe Life Park is also working to regain the top
spot on PETA’s list of vegan-friendly ballparks. This
year, fans can try vegan burgers and tacos.
