The Ballpark in Arlington, Texas
The home of the Texas Rangers, Arlington's Rangers Ballpark (1994-present) is an open-air stadium built by HKS Architects in an old-fashioned style modeled on such famous jewel-box designs as Wrigley Field and (old) Comiskey Park, but sunken below street level in the style of Dodger Stadium. A spacious and almost symmetrical field, Rangers Ballpark has quite deep and flattened power alleys (390 and 377 feet) but earns a reputation as a hitters park due to the thin Texas air and the lack of foul territory.
