In this the final year of Globe Life Park, a tradition unlike no other returned to Arlington: Getting into the stadium.
Well after Mike Minor’s first pitch on Opening Day, thousands and thousands of seats were empty for a game that was supposedly sold out. The tickets were indeed sold. The fans just could not get to them on time.
For whatever the reason, this always seems to be an issue at the Ballpark.
Impatient to angry fans waited in line at the home plate entry for as much as 45 minutes, leaving a lot of empty seats well into the second and even third inning.
