Two years later and this is not aging well. Brutal summer and every day people walking out of GLF look at the old hotbox across the street and they're not remarking on its supposed beauty. They are just thankful today's game was not there.
I actually posted a revision to that at some point either as a Short or on Twitter. Somewhere. Yeah, the heat can definitely be brutal, so I get the idea of having it closed and A/C tight, but the park is still a bummer. It's just so damn bland, and the disrupted sitelines throughout the park are a real (unpleasant) surprise. But yes, I get it. It gets hot. (I've been to games in the old park in the summer, and the new park too. I traveled to Texas 4 times last year.)
@@BlockingThePlate The Patriots built Foxboro Stadium, the CHEAPEST permanent stadium of all time, but at least they paid for it. You got "Depressed Ginger Syndrome," because you complain about everything. You're too fussy.
honestly, even tho I'm not a fan of the exterior of the new stadium, it honestly looks awesome on the inside, *especially* when the roof's open. Still will always love and miss the old stadium.
I love this stadium! Much better than the past ballparks! Open and closed roof and air conditioning! Try watching a game 100+ sun beaming on you….Houston knew better what’s why they kept it closed roof! I’m just saying 💯🤷🏾♂️🔥👀
The old park was cool but when it's 105 degrees in August the new park looks beautiful!
Well, the new park FEELS beautiful anyway. I don't think it will ever look beautiful, even when it's hot. Haha.
I honestly don’t care how plain the ballpark looks, I’m just glad they finally have a roof and air conditioning, that heat can be dangerous. The heat also effects the players, especially the pitchers, which is why the pitching sucks because nobody wants to play in a ballpark in 108 degree weather.
Just grabbed season tickets for the Rangers and really appreciated this video showing me the park! Thanks so much!
It’s funny seeing these reviews from people who have never suffered from the Texas heat of the summer. Coming to visit for a series and saying how the old ballpark was much better does not really mean much.
You never had to sit in a place like Foxboro Stadium.
Good review thanks. I was there for the same weekend series as you were. Sort of strange how they have a new ballpark already. Texas Live was great. Ballpark has totally different feel when roof is open. I've been to all MLB ballparks, some that are gone, plus a few football stadiums to boot.
I really wanted to see the roof open. The frustrating thing was my 3rd game was 66 degrees and cloudy, and the dumb roof was still closed!
it’s great in terms of comfort… no 100 degree heat in July
Haven’t been to it yet, but so glad we don’t have to deal with the heat. The new stadium will grow and develop character. But he is right, the old park had Texas style. It was a fort, it was unique and had so many details that you liked to spot.
Eventually, all things merge into one, and a river runs through it. The river was cut by the world's great flood and runs over rocks from the basement of time. On some of the rocks are timeless raindrops. Under the rocks are the words, and some of the words are theirs.
I am haunted by waters.
Driven by both man the ball park of Arlington still a beauty but inside for me it's a no Brainerd due to the heat.
I dont understand why they even needed a new stadium. The old one was perfectly fine. And being able to park right across the street from six flags was a bonus
It’s mind-boggling to me too, but I heard that the original plan was to keep the old one and build a retractable roof over it. I can’t remember if that’s correct or why it didn’t happen but if it’s true and it fell through I guarantee you that’s because they thought it’d be a better use of the hundreds of millions it would cost to retrofit a roof to make a new stadium.
You can't play baseball inside
@@TheDirpMasterPlaysTheGames They explored adding a roof, but said it was as expensive to add a roof as it was to build the new ballpark.
Air conditioning. It's Texas.
Finally visited the park a few days ago. Yes.. it's nice not to be sweating but, it's pretty bland compared to the old one
Very valid. I live in DFW and I go to games all the time, I love the views on the lower level but its just not the best for what you're paying. the 100s level def does have the upper for the amount of food/drinks that are accessible and worth the $$$. glad to see someone with honest reviews
I think they have nailed it in being a party spot. Full service bars all over the place on the concourses, and they have integrated it very nicely with Texas Live , creating a pretty nice 'ballpark village' bar and restaurant scene. Its similar to its other neighbor, AT&T stadium, traditionalists are going to hate it , it's 'sterile', and there is nothing distinctive about its architecture inside, but its comfortable and it seems like they can herd people in and charge them whatever they want. Rangers have had nice crowds considering the state of their franchise now and being in the middle of a pandemic a lot of people are afraid of.
I agree on the Texas Live spot, but they could have done a lot of that with the old park too. St Louis and Philly have them too. And in-park, I like the layout of the 100-level concourse too.
They CAN charge what they want, but regardless pandemic or not, they have a hard time getting meat in the seats, excluding their good run back in 2010/2011. They went to the World series for two years and they act like they are a powerhouse in baseball.
Agreed but we are moving into the generation of these indoor and costco like stadiums... Its going to be the future of stadiums as you see many nfl stadiums are perhaps even more boring looking with the huge domes and massive soviet or german looking blocks of seating with just massive screens to try to make it more exciting.
A/C comfort makes the stadium beautiful!
plz use 60fps. it is your friend. Significantly smooth's things out
I enjoyed the Ballpark every time I went. Hot as hell each time, but still fun. Minute Maid looks like a literal dump from the outside, but it's a great place to watch a game.
The old ballpark definitely has more character to it!
I like the ballpark in Arlington better, I like the vibe of the place. Just saw highlights of a game in the new stadium, what's up with the high camera angle facing the batter?
They r putting awkward angles in many stadiums but this is another thing. And the cherry on the pie is the plenty visible "all u can eat" behind home plate
There both in Arlington if you look at zack hampels video there pretty much right across the street from each other
Funny little note. The photo of Fergie Jenkins at 5:42 you can clearly see a small piece of sandpaper on his glove. He said something like, wish a different photo was used when he visited lol
Headed to see the struggling Yankees next week. I agree the layout just doesn’t look the same like they installed “social distancing” in the lower bowl lol
Im thinking of going can’t wait to see my yanks
Rangers sweep 😃
3:21 Huge Obstruction view
Dear stadium architects. Please take a look at the old Comiskey Park. You can fit alot of people in a small stadium where everybody has a great seat. These third decks at these new stadiums are way too high and way too far away from the field. Thats why they are always empty, nobody wants to sit there. Those seats might work for football, but not baseball.
Lower level around home plate is all you can eat and drink you can’t beat that
Just in the set sections, which cost quite a bit more. The two Dugout Club sections have a food voucher too.
@@BlockingThePlate I paid about 60 bucks for each ticket on selected games those seats get pretty cheap for whats included and a great view
@@ImSoWoke I think my biggest criticism of their lower bowl is that the baseline and homeplate club sections take those rows further away from the field than most parks. Safeco is my home park, and the seats go all the way to field level on the lower bowl, so you feel a lot closer to the action than I did at Globe Life. It felt like the grade/angle of the rows at Globe Life were deeper, which pushes you back a little further too.
@@BlockingThePlate I agree with that completely I love the old stadium layout and the feeling of being so close to the field you can touch it from the front row. I wish they would have stuck to the same layout with a roof as the old stadium. I’m just in love with the perks and modern feel and I don’t have to worry if it’s a day game anymore in the middle of July lol
@@ImSoWoke I def understand the July games!
Every time I see this park I wonder why on earth they made it look so much like the Houston park, their closest geographical rivals. It makes no sense. It reminds me of when the owner of the Browns got ousted then making the Bengals franchise, Clevelands geographical rival, and gave them the exact same uniforms the Browns had because he was petty.
And Houston stadium is one of the worst stadiums I been too it was bland and boring and smelled like sewage
It somewhat resembles Houston inside because they are domes, but outside it's not even close. Minute Maid is a bit of a dump. Globe Life closely resembles Truist in Atlanta with the bars/restaurants in the surrounding area.
@@jjjohnson1610 you calling Minute Maid a dump makes me happy.
I think they also have like a 10 pound burger if I’m not mistaken lol if uou don’t like the hotdog
Well I haven’t visited the new ballpark yet because I got married and relocated to Houston. But I am really want to see the new ballpark and my Rangers. But I think if we still had the old ballpark Semien & Seager would not come to Texas and play. Oh I can not forget about Gray and Calhoun.
How is food options outside?
Texas Live has a handful of restaurants and things to eat, but none of it looks that much better than what you can get in the park. There are a number of restaurants w/in less than a mile walk from the park though.
Man the old ballpark got HOT AF
I know, but damn it looked pretty!
If you're building a new arena or ballpark you HAVE to get it right, it's one of those things you just can't mess up on, it seems like a few places have messed up.
3:21 Huge Obstruction view is one of them
As a baseball fan and a fan of stadiums I have to say I really liked the Ballpark in Arlington, it was where I saw my first MLB game. I love the architecture inside and out, it’s very Texas feeling. The new stadium is the most bland of any stadium I’ve ever seen, Triple A Round Rock is another very plain stadium that people talk highly about.
Globe Life field reminds me of the stadiums in Arizona, Milwaukee and Houston, all of which are my least favorite stadiums. But glove life is the worst. They could have done so much better when designing it
I've never been there, but it looks bland for sure. At least in Houston you have some funky dimensions, the train, and most importantly natural turf. I feel like Minute Maid is a dome disgused as a real ballpark and Globe Life is just a dome. If Houston can keep real grass why can't the Rangers. Also, when will they start building stadiums where the fans are on top of the action. Nobody wants to sit in that 3rd deck that's 80 yards away from the field and 100 feet high.
I thought Levis Stadium looked horrible, but Globe is running away with it
2023 World Series champions!!!!!!!!!!! *LET’S GO RANGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!*
THANK YOU!!!!!! I agree! The new stadium is nowhere as good as the old one.
I agree The old stadium was so beautiful the new one is a complete dump
For a billion dollars they could've put a retractable roof on the old stadium.
I honestly don't see anything wrong with it. Texas Stadiums NEED a roof. I remember 100°+ games and it was kind of miserable even for in shape ppl. And if you sat where the sun shines good luck. There's my two cents
Looks like Minute Maid Park….
Missing that 105 degree charm
should have just built a roof on the old stadium
Old one > new one. It's no comparison in my opinion. The Ballpark in Arlington had character and felt like a classic baseball stadium. They should have just built a dome on that stadium if that is even feasible to do.
Safeco Field is a very nice park, this place looks generic AF.
Over a billion dollars...when they could've spent much less just building a dome over the old park 😮💨
Memory serves, they did look at doing that but decided to go the new direction. I 'get it', having an all encase park works great for the heat, it's just a shame it's such a bland park.
Looks like they took Minute Maid Park and Dallatized it.
Literally looks nothing like that shit hole lol. I don’t see what you are talking about lmao.
Minute Maid Park is ugly and smells like sewage
@@carryeveryday910 Its nicer that your dump of a stadium at least we have real grass and real team unlike your shithole team LMAO!
@@joemartin1253 I like that you think I’m a fan of the Rangers lmao not even close. Just a fan of architecture (I’m from NY) and objectively speaking globe life field is much nicer than minute maid. The field is shaw sports turf which feels and performs exactly like real grass but reduces fatigue and injuries better. All the material used to build it are sourced locally from Texas the roof is quiet and opens in 10 minutes. Not a bad sight line in the building and it’s not Houston so it doesn’t smell like shit when the roofs open lol.
@@joemartin1253 Also didn’t the rangers sign corey seager jon gray and a bunch of other studs before the lockout? Don’t think their team is hurting for talent lol.
dont like the turf other than that its a great stadium
Do you need a vaccine to enter the stadium.
You do not. Texas is pretty much wide-open. They require masks to enter the park, but there's zero enforcement in the park itself. I had COVID last year, and am fully vaccinated, so I wasn't too worried about masks, but fans that haven't been will want to keep that in mind.
YES!!! Only because the stadium is STERILE!!!! No charm whatsoever. I have been one of the biggest fans of the Rangers since 1978 and was born the week they were granted the move to Texas and I can tell you, that I have been so negative about this new place since that people in the Front Office have contacted me to try to get me on board because they know how much I LOVED the Rangers. I honestly feel like a Brooklyn Dodgers fan after 1957 and that my team moved. Have only gone to one game with comp tickets and was asked by they Lou Gehrig of PA announcers my thoughts. All I could do was shake my head and say no. Even this year, I have been invited to choose a game by two different people in the Marketing Department and I refuse to answer.
Totally agree with your editorial. I go to two to five games a season here and I too have been VERY disappointed in this 1.1 Billion dollar ballpark
It's just staggering how many obstructed views there are. Literally every level. I was there again today with a friend of mine and we literally sat there and started pointing them out.
I went Globe Life Field a few days ago and he's right the old park looks nicer.
You could recognize the Ballpark on TV immediately. This just looks like the most generic crap.
It’s like the Texas black and white license plates, they went with the most basic of basic looks they could design
The New ball park is so much better than this dump
Um... The review is of the new park. ;)
@@BlockingThePlate oops I meant old
This stadium is as sterile as a jackass. This stadium is the reason that I quit following my team after nearly 40+ years. For a billion dollars, they could have bought players instead of continued losing. As soon as they announced this project, I started losing interest and they haven't won anything since they bluffed saying to build them a new one or they would go to Dallas. They were never going to go to Dallas because they already committed to the Texas LIVE! project. New stadium IS AN EYESORE!!!!!
Is 'sterile as a jackass' a thing? Haha. Thanks for watching.
Globe life field sucks. The rangers should be ashamed for what they did.
Yeah should of never wasted money on this shit hole. The old ball park had that atmosphere that this one does not have
Terrible review lol
🤷🏻♂️
Awful baseball stadium. A desecration to the game and built purely as a money printer
Well, that might be a little strong. Lol. But yes, it's not my favorite either.
Why did they create a big box? This is not the NFL. This is the MLB. Looks like an NFL stadium wanna be. Old stadium is beautiful. This is crap!!!
Terrible stadium 🤮
I don't think 'terrible' is fair. Oakland is terrible. But it definitely has its issues.
The upper deck is way too steep. Don't worry though, they'll build a new one in 20 years
