Rangers 3 Angels 2
Rangers Ballpark in Arlington
In attendance: lots of co-workers
My hotel in Texas has a bar with a 52 foot screen (everything is bigger in Texas) which shows 5 different baseball games at the same time every night. Needless to say I am grateful for such amenities. Of course the biggest part of the screen (and the audio) is reserved for the Rangers, so I got to watch quite a bit of this team which I otherwise don't pay too much attention to. It may have just been a good week for them but this was a fun team to watch- hanging in games, come from behind victories, walkoffs, etc.
Luckily this was the case for the game that we went to as well. This was my first experience at this ballpark, and the mere feat of driving to the stadium and parking in a lot was something I haven't experienced in a long time. The temperature was a steady 103 when we pulled in, which was causing some concern among attendees, but a look to the sky showed some very ominous clouds rolling in. We decided to try to beat the rain and make our way to the park, which resulted in us being trapped in a full on downpour for the entire walk. We finally made it in thoroughly soaked, but by the time the game started (1 hour late), the temperature had dropped to a much more manageable 80 degrees.
I have to say I liked this ballpark a lot- big place but had a very cozy and friendly feel to it. Lots of between inning activities and even a big "Deep in the Heart of Texas" singalong, which I was very excited for. Surprisingly good fans as well- good sized crowd who all stuck around until the end (as they should have- Rangers went into the 9th protecting a one run lead). We sat in the centerfield bleachers, which gave us a nice view of the park, as well as a close view of the home bullpen to the left, and the batter's eye grass (no idea what that is really called) to the right. Best of all the tickets cost $15 and we bought them the day of the game, certainly a luxury I'm not used to in Boston.

gamera and i went to a game there in '02 on our mix tape trip.
there was some bizarre thing in the parking lot where our car was moved or something and we thought it was stolen.
gamera, do you remember the details?
i do remember that we rocked it at the fridays in right field.
i remember it was one of the longest games of my life. we were there really early to exchange tickets and there was some weirdness there. i forgot completely about the car moving incident. our plan was to leave the game and hit austin by sleepytime but due to the extra innings we stopped shortly after passing waco, tx and feeling the bad vibes there.
