The architecture firm behind AT&T Stadium in Arlington and Miller Park Milwaukee has been selected to design the Texas Rangers’ new $1 billion retractable-roof stadium, the team announced Thursday.
The Rangers chose Dallas-based HKS from among other finalists to begin work on creating the new stadium, officials from the team and the city said at a press conference in Arlington.
The Rangers plan to have the new stadium open for the 2020 baseball season, when it will replace the team’s current home, Globe Life Park, next door.
The team’s agreement with the city adds 30 years to the end of the current lease, which expires after the 2023 season, and secures Rangers baseball in Arlington through the 2053 season.
