Rangers Celebrate
National Women in
Construction Week
The Texas Rangers celebrated
National Women in Construc-
tion Week in March by honoring
the hard-working women who
are making the Globe Life Field
project become reality. Profiles
included laborers, administrators,
engineers and the construction
site’s only female safety manager.

Hubbard. Hubbard is a Senior
Project Engineer with Manhattan,
currently working on Globe Life
Field. Hubbard is in her fourth
year with Manhattan Construc-
tion and currently oversees the
structural steel, roofing and
handrails on the project.
From the limestone quarried in
Lampasas to the “Champion Red”
Acme brick made in Denton, the
Texas Rangers’ future Globe Life
Field features materials inside
and out made here in the Lone
Star State.
Bryan Trubey, executive vice president of HKS and the principal
designer of Globe Life Field, discussed the materials being used in
the construction of both exterior and interior elements of the new
retractable roof ballpark during a March 7 construction site media
tour. Trubey and the HKS design team have incorporated a variety
of materials, the majority of which are being produced in Texas,
that reflect the elements of form and structure, transparency and
landscape.
For example, more than 1 million Acme bricks will be used in the
ballpark project. The “Champion Red” brick is made at Acme’s
Denton Plant. This facility also supplied the exterior of the Rangers’
current home, Globe Life Park.
