The Ballpark at Arlington: Texas Rangers


Ballpark Concessions: 3
For the first time we ate in a restaurant at the stadium because it was raining.  Captain Morgan’s was the perfect way to stay cool and dry before the game started. The service was very good and unlimited refills! Can’t bet that especially when it was $3 for a coke with refills in the restaurant including a to-go cup and out side it was $4 for a one-time drink. The food was reasonably priced and fairly tasty. One thing we did not try but is famous at the park is the “Boomstick” hotdog. This 24-inch hotdog went for $25.

Look at the Hotdog.


Stadium Architecture and Views: 3
Ballpark at Arlington had more of an old fashioned stadium feel with lots of green tall beams. The outside was fully bricked matching the interior theme. There was not much to look at in terms of view but then every stadium can’t be positioned on a river or near a huge mountain range. Six Flags over Texas is near by and could be a option if you wanted to knock both out on the same day. 


Fan Participation: 5
The weather was terrible raining and humid the game was delayed but you better believe every seat was filled and even though the Rangers were getting beat the fans were encouraging their Rangers 100%.
Overall: 3.6

Great American Ballpark: The Big Red Machine

While we are living in Cincinnati, Carter and I made a trip to the Great American Ballpark. Here you will find the home of the Cincinnati Reds. The tour was very thorough and we enjoyed seeing the park from every angle. Carter tells me that we still have to attend a game here but I'm ok with it because our tour guide told us exactly where to sit to be out of the sun!

A cool thing about this stadium are the steamboats that toot their horns as they float by during the games
