ARLINGTON - As Tuesday afternoon melted into the evening, Rangers officials invited fans up to the top of Globe Life Park for a little get-together to talk about the ballpark going up across the street.
It was on-point messaging.
The observation deck of the current ballpark was like a broiler. Across the way, there will be a nice climate-controlled, retractable roof palace opening in 2020. There will be no sweltering. Point made.
But the question that remains as the construction project continues is will the Rangers exchange one antiquated, unfriendly element (the heat) for another (artificial turf)?
