For me, when I think about baseball being played at The Ballpark, it’s always a night game in Arlington in my mind. Game 162, and the final game ever to be played at The Ballpark, will be played tomorrow in the middle of the day as the baseball world crosses the finish line together to end the summer-long marathon.
That means, tonight, Game 161, was the final time the Rangers will ever play a night game at The Ballpark in Arlington, in its purest setting. With that in mind, through all of the reminiscencing and ceremony, the Rangers made sure to conclude their time at their home for the last 25 years with some well earned fireworks before they pick up and move across the street to their new air conditioned palace.
