Rangers Ballpark in Arlington (our 8th stadium)

Mindi & Greg have season tickets for the Texas Rangers, so on Saturday night we headed out to Arlington for a game against the Tampa Bay Devil Rays. Rangers Ballpark in Arlington was recently renamed (on March 17 of this year), and was previously known as Ameriquest Field.
The outside of the ballpark as we walked up.

Before the game they inducted Rusty Greer into the Rangers Hall of Fame, so they decorated accordingly.
The hand-changed scoreboard in left field.
Sam's favorite baseball player: Jarrod Saltalamacchia. Note how is name barely fits on the back of his jersey...

Sam doing her best Nolan Ryan impersonation. The statue was in the outfield concourse.
Besides a statue of Nolan Ryan, there was also a kids park with different games for kids to play.
Mindi & Greg's tickets are in the front row of the middle deck, which was pretty nice. Here we are with our feet up watching the game.

Sam & Mindi having a good time.
Here's the Rangers' mascot...a scary horse-man.

In the end, the Rangers lost 3-0. Here's the final line from the scoreboard.
After the game was a fireworks show. It lasted quite a while and was pretty good.
