Mayor Jeff Williams
Globe Life Field represents the new gold standard for ballparks across Major League Baseball , and the overwhelming approval by Arlington voters for this project showcases a strong support for keeping the partnership between the Texas Rangers and the City of Arlington alive and well for generations to come .
Arlington is a direct reflection of how the American Dream thrives when citizens have an independent spirit and city pride . As the hometown team since 1972 , the Rangers continue to be a key part of that city pride .
Globe Life Field in Arlington has cemented our great city ’ s reputation as a national leader in cultural arts , innovation , sports and entertainment . Throughout Arlington ’ s history , there has been no hurdle too high , no obstacle we could not overcome and no opportunity left unseized . This ballpark is another example of Arlington ’ s ability to DREAM BIG and accomplish “ big dreams together .”
Trey Yelverton , City Manager
Globe Life Field is yet another example of our community ’ s commitment to growth and revenue that will be beneficial to Arlington families for years to come .
And similar to the positive economic impact we ’ ve experienced from the presence of AT & T Stadium and Globe Life Park in Arlington , this new ballpark will leverage the local and regional tax base for the benefit of Arlington and the entire North Texas region .
With the opening of Globe Life Field in Arlington , it provides our city with another state-of-the-art venue that can attract the country ’ s most popular sporting and entertainment events . Arlington has lots of experience hosting national and international events .
Because of these world-class venues in our Entertainment District , we are now reaching all parts of the globe and attracting millions of visitors each year . I ’ m appreciative of the support and approval for this project by Arlington voters .
