Overview

  • Field Surface - Grass
  • Type of stadium - Open
  • Height - 114 ft
  • Occupancy - 48,114 

Easy To get to (0 - 3) 
For this area I give Globe Life Park a 3 Because it is right smack in the middle of Downtown Arlington, it is practically right off the Highway too.

Parking (1-5)
Parking at Globe Life Park, even though it is kind of expensive ($17 to be exact) is super organized.  They have flaggers everywhere telling you where to park if you ever visit the stadium.  Getting out of the lots is also pretty easy, so overall I give the parking here a 5.

Food Choices (Scale of 1 - 5)
The Food Choices at Globe Life Park are spectacular.  There are a ton of barbeque Joints all over the stadium (Given it is Texas, that should happen.  They also have a variety from normal american food to Italian, to a place that fries everything.  They also have a five foot long hotdog.  I give this area a 5.

 Family Friendliness (Scale of 1 - 5)
Family friendliness at this park is easy to rate because the section that we were in for the game was Extremely Family Friendly.  We were in the first section of the nosebleeds in behind the plate The people that were everywhere in the ballpark were incredibly respectful.  However, There were not that family oriented activities. There were only a couple of mini games and they were only on the lower level.  Unlike Miller park there really weren't any Family sections.  Overall I give this area of the ranking system a 4 because there were a lack of family oriented activities, but Everything else in the ballpark was awesome for families.

Architecture (1-10)
Globe Life Park is another one of my favorite Ballparks artitectually because of the suites in the out field and the way they look, along with the exterior of the ballpark being kind of old school brick.  I love that type of feel because it just feels comfortable.  Also all the seats are really close to the action, including the nosebleeds.  So, I give this Ballpark a 10.

Amenities (1-10)
There are Bathrooms and stuff everywhere at this ballpark so for that I give this ballpark a high score, But I recommend you do your research on the team website before.  The link is below if you find yourself going to a game (or anything at this stadium)  here.  I give this ballpark a 7.5.

Atmosphere (1-10)
The ambiance Here Is really good.  When we went to the game the rangers lost, but it was incredibly close.  The fans were into it the entire game, even though it was late.  Also, Nobody left.  We migrated down to the lower level at towards the bottom of the 9th and it was really loud down there.  Overall I would go back. So, I give this area a 9.

Entertainment (1-15)
The entertainment at this ballpark is really spectacular from fireworks when the team wins and homers, to the Dot Race that they do every home Game, to the stuff on the jumbo-torn.  I have to say this is one of the most entertaining ballparks I have ever been to.  Not only that, but the Team is actually kind of decent compared to other teams in the league.  So overall for this area of my ranking system I give this place a 10.

Appearance (1-15)
Globe Life Park is really crisp in design and also looked extremely clean.  Props to the janitors that take care of this ballpark.  So I give this a 15.


Overall Experience (Total and Letter Grade)

68.5/79 or a B

Pack Mentality: Season 2 Part 9

"I do not know.  I truly do not know."  Then an elongated silence followed ended by some rustling of the bushes by where they were.   Rick raced to the truck and grabbed his rifle and flashlight, and tossed Jackson's crossbow to him.  The two of them waited in anticipation for what was to come hoping that it was one of their wolves.  Then Ash came exploding through the bushes. _______________________________ "Thank God!" Rick erupted as he put his rifle down lightly because it was still loaded. "Don't let out a sigh of relief just yet." Ash panted, "Bramble and I might have found something, but we need to hurry.  We caught a strong scent, so whatever it was, may still be there.  Let's go!" Rick set out four reflectors around the campsite, and jumped into the driver's seat, while Jackson went into the passenger seat. The group took off, Ash leading the way at a steady jog while Rick and Jackson kept a safe distance.  Rick ...

New Year New Me - Blog Goals

As the ball dropped in NYC on December 31, I started to think of some ways to make both myself, and this blog better, and set this blog apart from other blogs.  Granted this is going to be hard so I started to do some brainstorming.  As I started to brainstorm, I came up with several ideas, but a lot of them are going to be really hard to achieve, especially on a students' budget.  I am going to star the ideas that I feel are more of a 3-year plan. After the initial list, I am going to break down each one for you all.  Be more approachable especially when I am going to different places. Stay up to date with my posts.  Post more about stuff that I am going through. Summer Series* Do some Vlogs on either Periscope, Youtube, or Facebook* Be more approachable especially when I am going to different places. Some of you who have been reading this blog know that I have been to several different places.  These places Range from local-ish places to Europe...

Then-- Rick started to change.  The transition started with the eyes and then started to expand until he wound up with him being slightly bigger than Jackson, the eyes of his wolf-like form, slightly darker than Jacksons', Seeming to show the relationship between the two. The two of them trotted side-by-side, over to the scar-faced wolf and then, with a slight glint of pride the scared wolf said, "Welcome young Jackson.  Rick, do you promise to train Jackson in the ways of the wolf?" __________________________________ Rick stepped towards the Alpha, a glint of pride seemed to reflect off of his wolf like form and a spark of intent sparkled in his blaze orange eyes.   "I will, but not to the point where the monster takes over the man, Brandon ." Ricks' ears fell flat, and he let out a frustrated growl.  The alpha answered his challenge.  The two reared up and claws about the size of an eagle's talons retracted out of there paws, a glint of moonl...
