The Texas Rangers unveiled the latest renderings of their new stadium on Thursday previewing the look of a ballpark that seems somewhat ... familiar.
Comparisons to Minute Maid Park, the home of the division-rival Houston Astros, are not that far off - the arches along the outer left field wall, a large open area in center field next to upper decks of seating in right? Not very original, and it left some Ranger fans unimpressed.

But would a transition into a more Astros-like home be such a bad thing?
