[QUOTE="Frog92, post: 3149446, member: 1103"] As an early 50 year old, lifelong Rangers fan who grew up in relative proximity and access, I attended 100s of games at old Arlington Stadium. Most in the $5 and later $8 front 8 rows in the OF as a HS then college student. Loved the place (and still have pieces of it in my possession), but the new park was really needed. Lived just down the street when the Ballpark opened. Opening day every year from 1995 to 2014 became a family tradition. Was a 20 game plan purchaser from 2005 through 2014. My two boys reaching HS and summer baseball at a level that made that not work, plus getting pushed out and up with the 2010-2014 great run led to me not continuing. Lots of great memories with my baseball playing boys, including both World Series and the surrounding playoff runs. The Ballpark in Arlington was, and still should be, a great and beautiful place to see the best in the game. The new place is GREAT once inside. Really well done. But the architectural details, mostly outside, lack in the attention to detail overseen by Tom Schieffer in the construction of the old ballpark. We now have a cold, sterile, retractable BBQ gill exterior with a very well done inside. It is a great venue as a spectator. Just wish they had a little more foresight to make the seasonally necessary roof part of the 1994 rebuild plan and then the perfectly beautiful and functional facility built in 1994 would still be their home.
