UPDATE
WORK ON THE TEXAS
RANGERS’ FUTURE
HOME, GLOBE LIFE
FIELD, IS NOW MORE
THAN 75 PERCENT
COMPLETE.
The Rangers released new
renderings of the ballpark on Aug.
16 as part of a media tour, which
highlighted Manhattan Construction
and other crews’ progress on the
retractable roof, seating bowl, main
concourse and suites. With as many
as 1,400 workers on-site daily, the
1.8-million-square-foot ballpark is on
track to open in March 2020.

Globe Life Field is the seventh sports facility that Manhattan Construction Project
Executive Greg McClure has had a hand in opening. His 26-year career with
Manhattan also includes Globe Life Park, Reliant Stadium in Houston and Texas
A&M’s Kyle Field.
"Opening a project is a feeling that you
can't replicate; that's what keeps you
coming back. It's kind of like you get to
deliver the biggest party you've ever
delivered in your life, and it all goes off
without a hitch. It's emotional," McClure
said in an interview with the Texas
Rangers.
McClure expects to feel that same joy
and satisfaction next March, when the
Rangers take the field at Globe Life Field
for the first time. The Rangers will play the
St. Louis Cardinals in an exhibition game
on March 23, 2020. The regular season
home opener is scheduled on March 31,
2020, against the Los Angeles Angels.
