Preview of Rangers’ Globe Life Field


We were given an exclusive tour of the construction site of Globe Life Field, the retractable-roof ballpark that the Texas Rangers will occupy in March 2020. At this point, the project is more than 80% compete, which let us get a really good feel for how the finished product will look.

Check out our photo essay. The park includes many features that will become instant fan favorites. You’ll even see the first-of-its-kind “Pope Bubble.”


26 Seasons of Memories


It stands like a palace on top of a hill. Globe Life Park has been the home of the Texas Rangers for 26 seasons, and now it’s about to host its final baseball games.

We prepared an article for USA TODAY that focused on the favorite memories of six men who know the place inside out. A beat writer. Its PA announcer. The team’s Hall Of Fame broadcaster. The nationally known blogger. Its longtime groundskeeper. And the team’s beloved former player/former General Manager/current TV color analyst.

Due to the space constraints of print media, we had to limit the recollections of each of these knowledgeable and interesting people in the published article. However, we received permission to post an unabridged version of the article here. It’s twice as long as the print version, which means a lot more memories from these fascinating folks!

So check out our full version of the article 26 Seasons of Memories at Globe Life Park and the accompanying Biggest Moments in Globe Life Park’s History.


Anything but routine


You might conclude that the word “routine” would be an odd choice to attach to a new multi-million-dollar baseball stadium. But in the Milwaukee suburb of Franklin, the facility known as Routine Field is named for Routine Baseball, which purchased the naming rights to the park. The firm, which makes apparel inspired by the “baseball lifestyle,” is headquartered just a few miles away from the park — and its clever clothing is sold in the team’s merchandise store.

Learn how the ballpark came to be in the most unlikely of places — a landfill — and how the Milwaukee Milkmen of the indy American Association have high hopes for success in their brand-new digs. And see how the ballpark features quite a Whoa Factor.
