The Rangers Want $500 Million From Taxpayers For A Ballpark With A Retractable Roof

Globe Life Park

The Texas Rangers and the City of Arlington, Texas announced Friday a proposed deal for a new $1 billion stadium with a retractable roof to be ready for 2021.

The Rangers have played at Globe Life Park in Arlington since 1994. The stadium, despite the Texas heat, is outdoors.

The new stadium funding will be split evenly between the City of Arlington and the Rangers. A proposal for the funding will reach taxpayers for a vote in November.

If the ballpark funding is approved, the Rangers will extend the lease to play in Arlington until 2054.
