GLOBE LIFE FIELD PASSES
"SUPER FLUSH" TEST
About 300 students from the
Dan Dipert Career and Technical
Education Center filled the
restrooms to flush the stadium's
thousands of toilets and urinals at
once. It's about the same demand
the Rangers expect during a
seventh inning stretch.
"It feels good knowing that before
anyone else came in here, I came
in here and tested it out," said
Arlington ISD student Alberto
Alvarez.
While the Rangers were more
than willing to have fun with
the process, it's also a serious
indicator of the stadium's
readiness. And based on the
results, Globe Life Field is ready.
As the Rangers get ready for huge crowds, they're making sure every
aspect of the stadium is in working order — including the plumbing.
There are 860 toilets, 260 urinals and 2,600 plumbing fixtures
throughout the ballpark. To make sure the plumbing could stand up to
heavy use, the Rangers invited Arlington ISD students to the stadium
in February for "Super Flush 2020."

"Our systems are in really
good shape," said Manhattan
Construction manager Greg
McClure. "We're needing to tweak
a few toilets here and there to
make sure it's the proper flow. But
after that, all 2,600 units worked
the way they're supposed to work.
And that's a really good thing."
