The big complaint about the "old" park is the temperature in the summer. The Texas heat is unbearable.
But it was so beautiful, and the new one is so ugly. Ugh.
Anyway, I might try and check out the Padres-Giants game after the Rangers game. |
Didn’t even realize they were building yet another stadium for the Rangers. The current one isn’t even that old. They try to avoid the heat by not playing day games after a certain date (at least that’s what they used to do). Maybe it’s the Canadian in me but it was awesome sitting in an outfield seat with a cold beer on a hot evening watching a game, the temperatures were a bonus rather than a drawback. Being an Avgeek it didn’t hurt that the ballpark sits under the arrival/departure path of DFW and a non stop air show was there to watch too.
Saw one game at the new park and four games at the old original Arlington Stadium including Nolan Ryan’s no hitter against them Jays. Great memories
